      Road designers say if you want traffic throughput in high traffic situations, use traffic lights instead of roundabouts. Apparently there are a lot of studies that show that.

    Sadly pedestrian wait times are not being optimised as well, so there is not much to help with liveable cities.

      In general, I guess. But strictly speaking, not everything google does is bad. Translate, Earth, are all cool projects.
