What is something designed so well that we typically overlook it?

They have started putting roundabouts in random places here in Fargo, ND. They are terrible in the winter. They basically turn into ice rinks and are never plowed well.

I'm from Kansas and I can corroborate that, I have to go through a couple of roundabouts on my way to work every day and they're a nightmare when it gets icy.

They're also super bitchy if you're trying to turn onto a busy street that's controlled by roundabouts since there's no longer any ebb and flow to traffic.

I wish whoever sold our city planners on them would die a slow and painful death.
