There are a number of new roundabouts in Moncton. I generally like them, especially the five point roundabout at Killam/Collishaw/Purdy/Russ Howard - traffic flow is much more efficient than the old signalized intersection.
We have another interesting (dogbone) roundabout at the Harrisville/Dieppe Blvd intersection with Highway 11/15 which is multilane and rather unique, but again, I like this one too. It only took me a couple of times through it to figure out which lane I should be in to enter the roundabout in order to exit efficiently.
But, don't underestimate the natural stupidity of some (mostly older) drivers who have no idea how a roundabout works. I have witnessed on more than one occasion people attempting to navigate a roundabout clockwise rather than counterclockwise in order to try and make a left hand turn.
