These are showing up all over the USA, despite taxpayer and driver resistance.
I think they do have safety potential for motorcycles, since they eliminate the fatal left turn.
Apparently one engineer has made them his crusade.
Within thirty miles of my home are about five, including a brand new one just south of Seneca, Missouri.

Apparently older circles gave entering traffic the right of way and it took decades to realize this is much more dangerous than yielding to vehicles in the circle.
