Which of the following is NOT true about roundabouts?

Traffic in roundabouts travels in a counter-clockwise direction.
Traffic signals found at roundabouts reduce traffic crashes.
Roundabouts slow vehicle speed.
Roundabouts improve traffic flow.
Explanation

Roundabouts are circular intersections without traffic signals, where vehicles travel in a counter-clockwise direction. By eliminating traffic lights and requiring drivers to yield the right-of-way to the vehicles already inside the roundabout, they help improve the flow of traffic and slow vehicle speed at the same time, reducing the risk of traffic crashes.
