In Europe, there is no landscaping to block your view. The roundabouts there look desolate and dystopian, making it easy to see cars coming so you know if you have to yield or not well before you get to the entrance of the roundabout.
In the USA, landscaping / overgrown bushes block everyone's view, essentially turning the yield into stops because you cannot see the traffic through the overgrown shrubbery until you get to the entrance of the roundabout.

That's a good point lol. I don't like them, but I'm sure there's research that proves they're actually good for some reason, but even if they were is that still worth stressing everyone out and confusing everyone by forcing them to do it, but is that a valid reason to oppose it and do they just need to get over it...

And are we sure that the RESEARCH captures the full picture of their effects, and who would be motivated to do oversimplifying research, and some people would reflexively defend the research even when confronted with the suggestion that it might be inadequate or misleading, but you could also make that criticism of most research, and so on and so on. It really does cut to the heart of progressive technocratic thinking and expert trusting vs expert skepticism and to what degree people should have the right to refuse their suggestions out of pure preference or by appeal to valid but hard to quantify negative effects

No. USA carefully thinks how big policy is going to impact the population and economy. For example, is hate speech free speech? Yes. If you look at everywhere else, they don't carefully think, they make bad policies, turns out it was shit, and then they have to rollback. For example, Online Safety Act. You say USA also makes some bad policies that have to be rolled back, and that's true, but it's still better than everywhere else.

The average IQ of black Americans is like 70 points. It's bad enough that they had to designate the categories for mentally retarded back in the seventies when they started studying it deeper and it turned out most of lack of America counted as severely retarded and unable to ever live on their own.

Our entire Society is built on pretending tableau Raza was right and never addressing the elephant in the room so it remains unsolvable for eternity.
Pathologize it into not wanting to be racist so you expand this category into all inhabitants of North America and add a dash of Ashkenazi schitzophrenic paranoia and you get the World Economic Forum and most of the current elite group think.

In my anecdotal experience, roundabouts are much smoother for the flow of traffic. This issue is the retards that are clueless as how to actually use them.
I traverse roundabouts regularly in my area, and at least once a week there is a retard that STOPS in the traffic circle to allow others to merge in, fuckin up the whole traffic flow. When someone tries to be a "good guy" and do this for me, I do not merge, flip them off and point in the direction of traffic. Fuckin mongoloids.

I understand how to use a roundabout, and I drive through one occasionally, but I don't really see point. I remember the way a few areas were before they were put in and I don't remember any traffic congestion. It does kind of seem like pointlessly antagonizing people for some abstract benefit that only some bureaucrat cares about since it will waste taxpayer money.

All your generational quibbling aside, roundabouts are objectively better than 4+ way intersections.
With roundabouts there is a constant flow of vehicles, whereas at a traffic light there is complete stop-and-go, which cumulatively amounts to a significant time within a 24 hour period where NO vehicles are moving at the intersection.

Small round abouts are good, superior to four way stop signs and absolutely better to an uneeded traffic light (im assuming a small road/light traffic) but in cities or with largers roads and more traffic, traffic lights are better.

My town replaced all the redlights with roundabouts because midwit retards like yourself assumed that smoother flowing traffic is inherently a good thing. Now it is impossible to turn out of my neighborhood onto the main road because there aren't any breaks in traffic. It's just a constant flow of evenly spaced cars forever.

lol this whole narrative that we don't have roundabouts in the US or that everone hates them is retarded and untrue. they're a really good alternative to traffic lights in some low-density areas with a lot of turnoffs, and really helped a bunch of traffic problems we used to have. they're not a universal panacea, they wouldn't work for any of our numbered highways (that's because of how the USA was built in the first place) but for backstreets and places designed with them in mind they're great.

also this crowing that progressives like everything good and conservatives hate it is retarded too. I have a progressive temperament myself, if I was born in the 80s I'd have fallen for all the psyops and shit and I'd feel great about being "one of the good ones" but coming up in the late 00s as I did made the truth unavoidable-- how our image of ourselves as these good futuristic advanced people was used to manipulate us into supporting reprehsnible shit

this whole mentality explains why so many people STILL aren't hip to mossad's domination over us politics. get that smug expresion off your face, europe-- you're further along in this process. you didn't have any endemic-- CONSERVATIVE-- people around with any power who could prevent this shit from setting in. Conservatives are NOT the enemy.

not in every situation. britain is more spread out (I'd say more ergonomic) because its roads were mostly not laid out when cars were the primary transportation technology. you don't need as many of these huge busy highways as we do

yes, the way britain is laid out is superior, grid cities and isolated suburbs are the biggest mistake the USA made, but to be fair this was all new tech at the time and much like you we had an ideology of "progress" and an enthusiasm for novelty back then.

Now those old early 20th century ideas, once promulgated by exactly your progressive ilk of people, the indisputable objectivbely better ways we used to believe in are showing their flaws. The same is true of your progressive ideas now.

I spend a ton of time in the US with my extended family and I love Florida, but if there's one thing that annoys the shit out of me its the driving.
I-95 is an absolute death trap.
Keep on the right, pass on the left, use blinkers, keep safe distance to the car ahead of you. Pay attention and don't use your phone while driving. It's not rocket science yet a majority of drivers fail at it.
Result is that Florida has 3x the amount of traffic accidents of Germany even though all the highways around me have no speed limit.

So the low IQ logic is true? Roundabouts reduce fatal accidents, but not accidents in general, and come with problems like more constant traffic, bad for big vehicles and bycicles, and annoying to pedestrians. I'm not sure how that would help a country with bad drivers.

Btw if you're so safe and skilled why is EU and UK adding new safety features with GPR2? This adds a blackbox, camera, drunk test, and sensors to all new cars. It's supposed to be offline and needs a warrant for police to see the data, dependent on the legal system how much that's protected. But anyway, why have that if Europe is so skilled and safe? To become even safer? Could be that but they're basically saying we're not that skilled.
