I used to live nearby! Loved that silly thing, just don’t treat it like one big roundabout - it’s six chained roundabouts that you can use individually; both green and red routes are valid and legal for the same destination:
My town built lots of roundabouts, and the population are used to them, but they have a problem with unbalanced traffic, and it’s been growing, so traffic has been getting more unbalanced - more people coming from directions the engineers who planned the road didn’t expect
The real problem, of course, is that though they are trying they are not able to replace the traffic with mass transit. The buses get stuck in the same traffic, light rail seems impossible, even with political will

Saving this pic so I can recreate this beautiful monster in Cities: Skylines.

Traffic lights make roundabouts pointless, unless they’re on a quick cycle used to ‘group’ cars entering a multi-lane roundabout.
If your population didn’t grow up with roundabouts though, and treats them like YOLO free for alls… then you might need lights
My hometown installed roundabouts, with 4 way stop signs. Like, why.

i don’t think there are any. priority is based on how much you think you could take rival vehicles in a fight.
i’m sure you mean this seriously, it just tickles me.
Where we’re going, we don’t need traffic lights
Have… Have you never seen a roundabout?
