Just to toss out a slightly different take on these roads, I spent 3 months in Australia in 2012.
Now, there's a place that's really made good use of the rotary/roundabout/traffic circle. The Aussies have a solid circle in various places in ordinary width streets and roads. U-TURN permitted or EASY RIGHT TURN (remember, you drive on the left in Oz). It's really great when you think you goofed up on your direction.
& speaking of wonderful traffic circles, check out Washington, D. C. There are streets that can take you right across the normal city rectangles and and save scads of miles of driving.

& that layout borrowed from other European cities.
I wonder if I shall ever drive in European cities and see all that for myself.

The District of Columbia was created to serve as the permanent national capital in 1790. Within the District, a new capital city was founded in 1791 to the east of a preexisting settlement at Georgetown. The original street layout in the new City of Washington was designed by Pierre (Peter) Charles L'Enfant (see L'Enfant Plan).
