The problem is not the roundabout. The problem is that way more people use the road than it was designed for. A 2 lane residential street has turned into a major route.

Roundabout sucks! It needs to either have a metered light on all the time OR put in an actual stoplight. It backs up 1/4 mi to 1/2 mi every morning.
