I used to love topics like this, just as I vigorously defended the construction of roundabouts.
Now I have a roundabout right in front of my child's daycare. Due to the traffic rules surrounding that roundabout (Germany), it'll be impossible for him to cross that safely without me being very hands-on.
All these systems are completely made to get another 2 % of efficiency for cars, while massively sacrificing walkability and bikeability. I am not a fan anymore.
