Just because you drove wrong does not make the roundabout bad. That would require you to compare accident numbers from before and after. I’m fairly certain the stats lean in favor of even terribly designed roundabouts.

You seem to have misread my post. Everyone drove wrong. I seemed to be the only one to notice it, and started avoiding that roundabout, because driving with the correct right of way rules during busy times would lead you to t-boning another car. Other people I talked to said "no, that's just how you're supposed to drive on that roundabout" (it wasn't, and the signage was eventually updated many years later).
If _everyone_ is driving through it incorrectly doesn't make it a bad roundabout, than I suppose no roundabout can be bad. If it's always the fault of the drivers and never the design, you can't really say 4 way stops are any worse in this regard either.
I think you missed my point due to me saying something about driving through the roundabout incorrectly. My apologies, that was entirely besides the point.
I’m trying to say that everyone driving through it incorrectly is not a great metric to judge bad roundabout. If everyone does it wrong and it’s still safer than a regular intersection, then is a success.
Of course I don’t know the numbers involved, so I can’t say if that’s the case here.
