It's largely a matter of driver education, and siting them appropriately.
Roundabouts don't work well when the traffic is queuing, but keep traffic
flowing well when it's not nose-to-tail.   In London traffic, lights are the
only thing that seems to work on major routes, with painted 'box' junctions
to deter traffic from blocking the junction. They're often backed up with
cameras to ticket you remotely, too.

We all hate driving in heavy traffic - and stationary traffic is doubly
polluting.  We need a new phrase like "Going to hell in an internal
combustion vehicle"!

I assume flashing yellow means no priority - you just have to fight it out.
I do like the right-turn on red that applies in many US states.  They don't
often let us do the UK equivalent of left-turn on red.  It seems most odd to
do it in the USA, but not every junction allows it, so you have to keep your
wits about you.

Those roundabouts are terrible. They work if there is very little traffic.
Most drivers do not know how to use them, rules, right of ways.

Even NJ pulled them out. They are a left over of England's influence.

They keep putting them in Utah now. Along with intersections that have you
driving on the wrong side of the road.

Have had conversations with DOT. They insist they have it right.

Also, instead of green left turn arrows they now use flash yellow arrows. A
lot of accidents because of them.
