… especially if the neighborhood is filled with little shits with too many electrified toys.

EDIT: Okay, I'm convinced. Regular bikes would actually be a sensible cause here. Let me be a curmudgeon though.

It's a "magic roundabout" meant to be able to combine the joining of several roads into one gigantic roundabouts within roundabouts. It doesn't work very well.

Near me there's a giant roundabout joining 6 roads together, 2 of them highways, and it works fine as one roundabout. You just enter the roundabout and exit at your exit, it's not complicated and it doesn't need to be.

Regular roundabouts can also do that.

Obviously not a criticism of your statement, but this thing shows up every five minutes and I've still yet to see a single justification for it's existence.
