Is it a bad thing that when we drive through the first of your examples it's generally because we have been at Omni Brewing?These are both within a handful of miles from JC and I.
More than one lane in spots. Not two full circles as you can't just drive around the north one again if you miss your exit. If that happens you have to drive down around the south one and back up again. A little confusing the first time through but really not bad.

Two more conventional ones in proximity. They are single lane but there is a drive over curb on the inside with another lane width of pavement inside that so larger vehicles have little to no problem negotiating them.

The most important thing to remember is just like you should wait for people to get off an elevator before you get on, a roundabout gives the right of way to vehicles already in it. Those entering should yield to vehicles in the circle. Whenever I am exiting and there is traffic waiting to enter I signal my exit so they can use the gap to enter. Not many people do that but they should.
I'm a roundabout advocate, but even I think "well-liked" is a stretch. A lot of people hate them until they are late for work and are caught sitting at an interminable stop light while their neighbor goes the other way and cruises right around a roundabout.
It is tricky, but as I recall it has pretty good signage indicating which lanes will allow you to go where. At the speeds you should be entering them you should have time to read the signs and select the proper lane. I recognize that many people do not drive at the speed they should be driving - me included.
I was worried about those things too but the newer ones don't really cause many issues with starters and batteries (there are several reasons that I only sort of understand).
My problem is that I tend to ignore the signs. Probably because I'm not driving at the proper speed.
I have a self admitted lead foot. In my 50 years and millions of miles of driving I have gotten well over a dozen tickets. I can admit I deserved nearly all of them. What is frustrating is that Mrs. Velo probably has a worse lead foot but she has NEVER gotten a ticket. It is unbelievable.
I went to get the vacuum and there was a fly sitting on it just mocking me. I was able to vacuum up 3 so the death toll is up to 22 now
I'm glad to hear it's finally open. I head up towards Central City a fair amount (volunteering at the scout camp) and from someone who lives on the west side of CR, it's takes a lot longer to use 100 or 30 to get across town to 13.
