There are a few in upstate new your area - as said they work well in medium and low traffic. we drove out to Boston and there are quite a few in Mass.

So they can work in the US on a small scale - but you get multi lane - multi entry/exit intersections - these could quickly go from "Round-abouts" to "Spiraling vortexes of death"

and in as a sub bullet to Ben's statement about Moving is the single most important thing... I wonder if time people are stuck in traffic because of an Accident is the single biggest "waster" of fuel over lights.
