Wow, y'all have had roundabouts since the 60's? I didn't see any in the US until like 2010.

And here I thought they were modern inventions

Funnily enough, the concept of a circular traffic junction - in a form similar to a roundabout today - was first introduced in Washington DC in the 1790s, including the Dupont Circle.

So literally speaking, you septics invented the ~~roundabout~~ traffic circle.
