    I used to live nearby! Loved that silly thing, just don’t treat it like one big roundabout - it’s six chained roundabouts that you can use individually; both green and red routes are valid and legal for the same destination:

        Traffic lights make roundabouts pointless, unless they’re on a quick cycle used to ‘group’ cars entering a multi-lane roundabout.

        If your population didn’t grow up with roundabouts though, and treats them like YOLO free for alls… then you might need lights

        Saving the operational costs of traffic lights is the biggest pro of roundabouts. Cars inside a roundabout always have priority and cars who wanna enter it have to yield.
