It astounds me how people oppose roundabouts. Most perplexing are the people who actually believe they are less safe than the cross intersections they have replaced.
The best example I can personally think of to counter this ridiculous assertion is the roundabout between Waterloo and Elmira (at St Jacobs). Before the roundabout was built there was not a year that went by where at least one (though often more, including three fellow students from EDSS in two separate incidents way back when) person wasn't killed at that intersection. Since the roundabout, zero.
That fact alone more than proves their value.
