I still get nightmares from thinking that placing a nice roundabout in Cities Skylines will improve my traffic only to come back later to see a huge traffic jam because the cars are blocking each other.

    Honestly I've never heard about a roundabout traffic jam before seeing the picture of the Norwegian four-way bus lock a couple of days ago, followed by this example right here.

    I think Cities Skylines is either badly programmed or propaganda for Big Intersection.

    It's not. Roundabouts work better than intersections.

    The whole game can even be read as propaganda against car-centric traffic management, because road planning just becomes a nightmare at some point that incentivizes you heavily to diversify into public transportation and even walkable city blocks.
