I live in Massachusetts, the land of the rotary. Rotaries here are amazing with multiple lanes of crossing traffic, traffic lights, and occasionally making traffic IN the rotary yield to entering traffic.

My favorite is Newton Corner, 3-4 lanes of chaos in a 1/2 mile circumference featuring 200+ street signs, 23 crosswalks, 12 traffic lights, intersecting 6 local roads, and a highway interchange. Oh, there's also a couple bus stops for the 10 or so bus routes. One is generally required to cross several lanes of traffic to exit the rotary at the desired location.

The roundabouts that have popped up are downright relaxing in comparison.
