The key to roundabouts is their size. A larger one can function decently, because can allow 18 wheelers to get on and off safely. The smaller ones that are used instead of stop signs are hazardous because there is no room to maneuver safely.

Optimum size for a low use Roundabout. No we would not have articulated trucks going through as in the video, hold up traffic

You get buses through but not heavy trucks
