Get rid of them and put zebras back along the main roads every few 100 metres and people will stop for them and let them go, there is us vs them culture at the moment and as soon as traffic lights turn green and if anyone is still crossing the road then drivers just rev at them and drive off anyway rather than the old way of just simply giving way. It works so well abroad, cars slow down at zebras and by the time they approach you have already crossed the road.

Now the size of the junction will dictate whether a roundabout is feasible , some very large roundabout's become a problem in there own right and need traffic lights to control traffic , so back to square one , the mini-roundabout fad is also dangerous seen many a near-miss on them things.
