Roundabouts are frigging rad. Don't know why so many people have problems with them.

This one just doesn't flow properly, it's much harder to get in and out of than it should be.

The Lee circle used to be awful but love it now that it's 2 lanes all the way. I still cannot comprehend how it works without everyone crashing but somehow you just drive through and it works?

Lee circle works great. I concur that it defies logic though

Because people don’t understand how to drive through them and yield properly

Modern roundabouts are rad! But the Portsmouth Traffic Circle is NOT a roundabout. Its way too large and doesn't have other design elements to be a modern roundabout.

This is a classic New England rotary and should be removed or updated like the other ones.
