There are roundabouts all over the US. Our capitol has roundabouts. Small towns in the mountain west have roundabouts. Medium and large cities have roundabouts. In Massachusetts they have roundabouts but call them rotaries. In some places they call it a traffic circle.
We have no shortage of roundabouts here. If were avoidant of anything its light rail systems
OHDoT is installing tons of roundabouts at rural intersections and it is so funny listening to locals bitch and moan about them. They aren't hard, y'all are just morons.
Oh man this reminds of when I lived in a somewhat rural town in northern CA. Someone complained in the paper about the new roundabouts calling it "creeping European socialism"
We need to take a cue from TCP/IP: break us up into chunks and let each one find it's own best route to the destination, then reassemble us (in the right order) when we get there.

You cannot tell me you have a 128 way interchange and not expect me to be impressed and interested
I mean, the math of this thing, I want to know more!

Massachusetts also has this, note that every part where a road intersects here has it's own light signal
it's also right next to a major train stop and there's no pedestrian walk waysor anything

Is it Y3K yet? I need to find Bender so we can go on a bender.

That's not more lanes, it's just more intersections.
We'll get started on it as soon as the cheque clears.

Just one more lane, bro. Traffic will be solved with one more lane.

At the end of the day, most commutes are still shorter 🤷♂️.
