I saw many examples in Amsterdam (and to a lesser extent in Germany and Denmark) of how to build them correctly to accommodate cars, bicycles and pedestrians. They have multi level roundabouts, interchange flyover roundabouts, and turbo roundabouts and they're all done well.

It was a hoot to sit on my daughter's front porch and watch the drivers attempt to cope with something they'd never encountered before.
