Have you ever seen an idiot driver in a roundabout?
That's why they put raised safety platforms at the entrances and exits of roundabouts
Based on your response to my question, I am going to assume you have never seen an idiot driver in a roundabout.
Based on your response you have never seen a roundabout with raised safety platforms
Again, you underestimate idiots.
Look up about them
I know what they are, that doesn't change my point.
Driven over them?
There are more design choices than just roundabouts...
Do I have to list every single one for you to get the point?
Have you considered installing the roundabouts anyway and removing the driving licences of those incapable of manoeuvring around a simple roundabout?
Driving is not a right. If they can't perform simple manoeuvres without endangering others, they shouldn't be controlling a machine that can easily accidentally kill.
I agree. My point is the problem is bad drivers are bad drivers so roundabouts, etc are a waste and won't do anything to solve the issue.
They solve the average driver. A certain number of drivers are jsut shit that need their licences removed, there's no question about that.
But let's consider the majority, myself for example.
I'm keenly aware of vulnerable road users, and active at the municipal and provincial levels in improving road safety, I take active and public transportation whenever practical.
When I lived in Montréal, I rarely sped, logs of questionable accuracy show somewhere around 10% of the time. Now that I'm in Kingston it's around 80% of the time.
I'm even a less aggressive driver in Kingston, but the geometry of the roads here leads me to unconsciously speed a lot.
