It is terrible and there is at least one accident there every day I think.

Also, different curve radii means different approach speeds, which makes merging even more difficult.

And North Americans will do anything to avoid roundabouts.

It'll be like trying to jump on an operating Tilt-a-Whirl while blindfolded.

Must have been designed by the Injury Lawyers Guild.

I feel like this wants to be a roundabout

And yeah, that's a lot of merging.

Also requires too much shoulder-checking for the average North American driver. And shoulder checking at a very acute angle behind the driver.
