You mean, it would have been safe if the motorcycle were approaching in reasonable speed…? clearly it wasn’t safe to make that turn
North America and this turn on green bullshit. Cities should have dedicated turn signals, or a freaking roundabout.
Roundabouts are great in countries that train drivers and have strict licence tests, but the are not safer when cars just barrel into them without looking.
yes they are - you just make shit up
They are demonstrably safer by avoiding t-bone collisions
Yes, there is a learning curve
The same can be said about literally anything. No car infrastructure is safe when cars just barrel into them without looking - only infrastructure made to prevent cars from passing, which is not the point here.
Is that something that happens? We have a mix of roundabouts and regular intersections in Vancouver, as well as some very questionable drivers. I can't think of a time when someone messed up at a roundabout. Especially the smaller residential ones
