How so?

Both as a pedestrian and driver I prefer roundabouts as they force drivers to slow down to non-lethal speeds and there's typically a one car length of road between the turn and pedestrian crossing, so the cars are already going straight when they cross it.

The only road users who don't mix well with roundabouts are cyclists on cycling lanes, as they get in and out of view too fast.

Drivers also slow down at stop signs.

The issue with roundabouts is that drivers never look to the right while entering. We have a few around me in Long Beach and when you're on foot you may as well be invisible.
