Guy needs to come to Belgium, thats a pretty standard intersection here...
I've always wondered what would happen if we got rid of stop lights and let people use judgement. Doesn't look like it works well at all.

All those people doing U Turns. Thank god I don't live there.
Also the narrator sounds like a flamboyant homosexual.

I wouldn't mind if every single intersection in Australia was replaced by a roundabout.
They're literally the best

As soon as they congest slightly they become a nightmare though... and they congest fast...

Go to france, 2 weeks, drive around the cities
you will change your mind, they have pros and cons like anything
In my town of ~50k people or w/e, there's this TINY roundabout in a place that has lots of traffic during rush hour. It just doesn't work during rush hour when there's a line from the traffic lights ~250 meters that fills the whole roundabout. Also doesn't help that it's fucking tiny and you can basically drive straight through it if you want to
Oh god that fucking ending is golden.

That is a blatant lie
They're rare here in NJ and maybe it'd be fixed if we introduced more but holy fuck they're a nightmare
People have no idea what a yield is and just blow straight through and cut people off and then flip you off like you're the asshole for having the right of way

I like the horns.
I never realised until now how funny someone commentating on traffic could be.
An intersection like that needs traffic lights, there is no reason why there isn't any.
Stereotypes are hilarious

there's "triggering" and then there's just being rude.
These are like the best counter-arguments to full on libertarianism I can think of

French roundabouts just suck by design. You're not supposed to make them three fucking lanes wide man.
The last clip is like some AI bug you'd see in a GTA game.

There's a few in Apple Valley and Eagan MN, literally nobody understands how to use them and it's a shitfest if there's traffic from all sides
The center of my town has a traffic circle. It's retarded. The inner lane goes all the way around, but the outer lanes are semicircles, so if you want to go straight across to the far side of the circle or 3/4 around, you have to muscle your way into the inner lane before you run out of road and get forced to go the wrong way. It's a very tight circle, too, since it's just paved over what used to be a dirt road for horses going around the town's original courthouse, so you have maybe 50 feet to get into the inner circle, which is always jammed up.

4 way, 12 lane intersection with no traffic signals or police.

I imagine if there was a natural disaster of such happening, this spot would get absolutely clogged and wall people in in their cars

In Switzerland we barely have lights, at least in pedestrian crossings and mergers, and unless you throw yourself at the highway, you'll be unharmed.
