The town I am from put in a round about in 2 years ago at a 5 way intersection that was always plagued with high wait times for traffic lights, sometimes for 2-3 cycles during rush hour. The new roundabout keeps up just fine during rush hour and certainly saves a TON of gas during non-rush hour. Additionally it is safer for pedestrians now and is aesthetically much more pleasing.
