As if normal roundabouts didn't already take up enough space.

That’s why the UK has magic roundabouts, like Swindon’s

Are accidents being counted per day or per hour over there?

[–] TaTTe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

This site mentions 14 major and ~100 minor accidents over the past 25 years, so I'd assume they count them per year.

[…] a surprisingly low number given the junction's complexity and heavy usage. This paradox suggests that the very complexity that makes drivers nervous might actually be its greatest safety feature, forcing everyone to approach with extreme caution.

It’s almost like making the road harder to navigate make drivers slow down similar to crimping the road.
