For intersections, which do you like, round-abouts or stop lights?

[fuzzybuddy]

Brits love round-abouts at intersections. They recently installed one near me. For me, it's hard to get used to. American don't use round-abouts much, and we're not that skilled in driving through them.
Which would you rather have at an intersection? A round-about or a stop light? Which do you hate?

You have to get the hang of roundabouts. And we don't have them near where I live. First encountered them in the UK, some years ago. Can't say that I hate a roundabout, but for now I prefer intersections with stop lights.

I wager Americans have keener driving skills than anyone else in the world because they do more driving than anyone else in the world.

Traffic lights are simpler than roundabouts. A light tells you exactly what to do based on its color, and we all know it's ok to turn right on a red when traffic allows...unless we didn't take driver's ed or read the manual.

I prefer stop lights to roundabouts. I find roundabouts confusing.

For Brits - roundabouts. For Americans, Stop Lights.

This is based on my experience with my wife.
