Keeping the Martians under wraps is impressive, but I think their greatest achievement is making Steve Guttenberg a star.

There is a book called Traffic by Tom Vanderbilt that covers this in depth. His thesis is that roundabouts are safer because drivers perceive them as dangerous and use more caution.
