Having spent a fair bit of time driving in Europe and using them, I think they are an excellent design idea. They keep traffic moving and avoid backups. My sense is this dislike is more a matter of unfamiliarity. They do however require you pay attention, a concept most drivers would rather not have to deal with. The big error the DOT engineers have made is not accounting for the fact that to many drivers do not have a clue, and drive like crap. Conceptually, they work great. Put down your phone, finish your 3 course meal before you drive, get your news from the radio instead of reading the paper, and drive the car. rant over

Again you're missing the point. Maybe you should read what most of us are saying. It's tooooooo narrow, not the idea of the circle. Again it's toooooo narrow. Try towing a trailer with a medium to large boat through there then give your opinion.
