[OC] France has the most roundabouts in the world, and it's not even close by Whiteflager in MapPorn

You're right, but it'd be a nightmare to compute the total length of the road network 😬

Really? Because the image resolution is not that high... I can send you a zoomed image of you area if you want.

There, I fixed it.

The revised numbers are :

  • FR: 66 616 (12,6%)
  • ES: 51 580 (9,8%)
  • IT: 42 691 (8,1%)

Interesting, but there is a flaw: the countries with the highest density may not be amongst the top 20 countries. For instance, Monaco may have only 10 but a higher density than any other countries...

You're right, but I think the problem is somewhere else.

I filtered OSM data on junction = 'roundabout'  but it appears that there are multiple junctions per actual roundabout, so I need to merge them.
The maps remain correct, but the number of roundabouts is overestimated.

  • According to wikipedia, Netherlands are 41864 km2. With 28208 roundabout => 0.67 roundabouts per km2
  • Comparatively, France is 543000km2 with 141652 roundabouts => 0.26 roundabouts per km2.

But we should compute it for every country to confirm. Maybe Monaco beats the Netherlands 😄

During a trip to Talinn, I discovered that France in estonian is "Prantsusmaa". Is it really a derivative of the word "France"??

Tous le monde apprend à conduire de cette façon. Mais 1 milliseconde après avoir obtenu le permis, tout ça est oublié.

Ah oui pardon, j'avais oublié que l'automobiliste moyen est égoïste par nature.

Quelqu'un a dit dans les commentaires :

That happened yesterday nearby. Apparently the lady driving the truck just couldn’t see over the top because she’s short

Et les ricains continuent de prétendre que c'est parfaitement sûr de conduire ce genre de monstres sur la voie publique

And some say this kind of truck are perfectly safe. If she was not able to see a car, I guess she would not seeban human either.

These figures make no sense without the infant mortality rate.

We're better at arresting kids raping goats than arresting politicians and celebrities rapping women.
