> Not to mention tight roundabouts always have horrible curbs that trucks have to smash into to try and jump over to make the turns, and they are never gentle bumps, they are always tire and curb damaging trash, especially for heavy loads which are primarily the vehicles that need to jump the curbs.
I'm not a fan of roundabouts, but the recent WSDOT roundabouts I'm subjected to have gentle curbs, at least for now, so that part isn't so bad. The part where I actually need to look left and right simultaneously to see if there's room for me to join the flow, and also watch for pedestrians (if present) isn't so great.
And I'm really not a fan of the unbounded wait when there is a large flow that crosses my entrance, which could result in a very long wait when the large flow comes from rush hour conditions or a ferry offloading.
