   @ascentale @puppethead @bikenite #BikeNite A3. Sad to hear that roundabouts aren't great for bicyclists... There are a lot of streets here in my town which are too long and too straight, which results in car drivers racing down them at many times the speed limit (with bad results for pedestrians and bicyclists, etc.). Roundabouts would help tame the traffic a bit. I did see a roundabout with bicycle underpass posted around here recently, that seemed cool.

     @puppethead asks:

     Q3. What's the best/safest way to navigate roundabouts? Two options I see: 1) follow the it like a car, since (local) law states bikes should follow traffic, or 2) go straight across the same way pedestrians do. Especially unclear when ped. crossing is connected to shared path.

     (It sounds like this refers to larger roundabouts where pedestrians cross through the center?)
