you're supposed to be paying attention when you're driving.
I find roundabouts a wonderful addition because it reminds me that I must pay attention to driving. Driving is a participatory activity, meaning I really have to participate fully when actively driving. This is why I enjoy manual transmission as well. The more I'm forced to pay attention, the better I will drive.
When I'm just on auto pilot, one gets careless because there is no importance to doing so.
heavy traffic areas only work if the round about is HUGE. In low traffic areas, round abouts provide the safety of slowing down drivers.
