I suspect you are conflating regular roundabouts with traffic-calming mini-roundabouts. The link above shows the latter, if you are curious.

Thank you for the source. It has great diagrams. I love mini roundabouts for traffic calming.

Drivers just ignore them and drive the speed the road or street is designed to drive.

That's what drivers usually do. I thought the purpose of in-street signs is to reduce the speed at which drivers feel safe driving because there is a bloody sign in the middle of the road that will scratch their paint. It may work better combined with a chicane.

Can somebody shed some light on which sort of immigration is causing an increased support to this party? Are we talking of legal economic immigrants from e.g. the EU, illegal immigrats from wherever, or war refugees? If it's refugees, where from?

I'm just trying to understand what's driving this change. I have family in the UK and a lot of the anti-EU sentiment around Brexit seemed to arise from the perceived effect of an influx of legal immigrants from the Eastern bloc of the EU.

I’m willing to bet a big chunk of those deaths were cyclists either blasting though the light, riding against the flow of traffic, or both.

If you look at some real-world collision statistics, like I did because I wanted to know how I was most likely to get killed, you will find that you would have lost that bet. Your municipality probably publishes a report on those stats every few years. Look it up and learn something new.

Let’s assume equal rates of desire for taking time to be with family among men and women.

Instead of assuming anything, let's poll and gather some evidence. How many men/women are employed/unemployed against their choice? What makes them take that difficult decision? What sorts of policies could help more people achieve what they want, rather than somebody else's preconceived idea of what they should be doing?

Didn’t realize it was so controversial!

If by controversial you mean dangerous, then yes, it is. It is one of the main ways in which pedestrians are killed in North America. In most developed countries it is illegal.

Cars making right turns on red are a major source for both pedestrian and cyclist deaths. The driver making a right turn is focused on the incoming traffic on their left and are thus less likely to notice a cyclist or pedestrian on their right.

All the time I run into inconsiderate drivers who enter an intersection without stopping and/or creep towards pedestrians when the light is red, ignoring the danger they force upon unprotected people.

We can reduce these deaths by disallowing right turns on red, following most of the developed world.

So if the relationship is in trouble, housewifes have a much harder time leaving their husbands then women who work. That means the relationship is naturally unequal with the husbands being in the stronger position.

Is that true? In developed countries parents who are the primary caregivers of children do not only get 50% of the assets in a divorce, but they also obtain alimony and financial support for their children, all paid for by the other parent. Even when both parents are working, the majority of judges give child custody to the mother.

In addition to that, there are women's shelters to cater specifically to women. Can you find even a single men-only shelter in your town, or a governmental agency that caters specifically to men in similar situations?

In other words, on average it is less difficult for a mother to divorce than for a father.

Sorry for your gender gap but it is very standard for numerous things: employment, academic success, life expectancy... What do you do for those?

Talk about it so that people are aware of the problem and do something about it.

Why are men taking a worse hit? Sounds like some kind of social injustice.

I obviously agree, since it affects me personally. But the prevalent narrative around the employment gap is centered about how it affects women, ignoring how it affects men as well, and I'm trying to offer a more complete view.

“You woman will take less of a career hit than I, so you should be the one to stay home and I’ll continue my career”

That speech is very problematic, but how prevalent is it? You could have imagined this alternative:

"I want to take care of the kids, and since it's not a big deal you man will have to keep working even though you also want to raise your family"

It's made up, but so is yours.
