We should absolutely be deploying these where we can, but they do take up a lot of space relative to their traffic throughput, and are only really suitable for a fairly narrow range of traffic volumes.

NL seems to quite commonly have this kind of physically large but medium traffic suburban junction, but outside of Milton Keynes and the outskirts of some towns that got heavily developed in the 60s, it's hard to see many places where we could just drop it in.

I don’t think they do!

> That the Dutch roundabout, including the cycle tracks all around it, can be built in almost the same space of a traditional junction is the reason why so many are being converted.
