They also get bad when placed on truck routes. Mankato, MN put a bunch in and didn't think about how semis would get around them.

And yes, they're for cars, not bikes.

If the roundabout is properly designed, and the space needed for turning trucks is taken into account, then a truck should be fully capable of navigating a turbo roundabout as well.

Those turbo-roundabouts that are common in the Netherlands are also commonly used by trucks without problem.
