They're starting to become a novelty item in Ohio. See: http://tinyurl.com/yz7m9v

I was born and raised in Rhode Island which had some colossal rotaries at one time. By the time I moved most of them were gone.

The one I linked to above is in a very quiet suburban area so it is rather safe for bicycles. It was introduced with much fanfare! Some people even made special trips just to drive through it...

I notice that they're called roundabouts now, just as they're referred to in Europe.. is there any real difference between a roundabout and rotary?
