My personal favorite comes to mind: Margaret & Union.
I'm not sure what you consider a "normal speed", but I've ridden down Ira Needles numerous times, and I've never seen them go substantially slower than traffic should be moving.
As for lane straddling, maybe it depends on their direction, I've seen them go straight through in one lane, I don't know about left turns, but even so, like I said, there are other options.
In fact, the Margaret and Union roundabout (which is only one lane) just proves that point. Yes, trucks go through there quite slowly on the rare occasion that they do, but there's nothing wrong with that. The important thing is that they still go through.
