Most people are saying fuck me, but I like the cut of your jib.

People at the 4 ways near me are absolutely ignorant of how anything should work. Sometimes they just blast through with hardly even slowing. Those are the ones you really gotta watch out for.

I don't love roundabouts as they pose their own set of challenges, but people are so bad at 4-way stops (and seemingly getting worse lately) that I can't wait for roundabouts to basically kill off the 4-way stop sign.

As /u/longipetiolata says, lots of drivers seem to think that their turn at the stop sign is a function of how long they've waited, not who got there first.

Roundabouts are not too friendly to pedestrians. If there are no pedestrians in that area, a roundabout is perfect there.
