This is a prinary highway (Florida Blvd) and the traffic circle is so small that you can't tell if people are turning or not until they are 10ft from your car.

You have to make these things bigger for them to work, people! Look at the one in Houston on Main St for an example of how it's done in a reasonable way.

you want to see the worst? Travel south on HWY. 1019 in Watson till it intersects with Magnolia Bridge road. Turning right has it's own dedicated lane that never merges with west bound traffic. There is a big arse sign on the shoulder that says "DO NOT STOP"


Motherfricking Livingston Parish idiots will stop there every time.

I go through this every morning. I have to say though it's primarily people who are not from the area that stop, not the locals. Out of state license plates, delivery drivers, black people, etc.

I used it both East and Westbound today, and it was fine.

Much better than the light.

The new round about at HWY 22 and HWY 16 in Head of Island/Maurepas works like a charm

i see the exact opposite. I see people primarily who you would think were accustomed to the way that intersection used to be before putting in the dedicated turning lane.

what a wasted spot for a traffic circle. The clusterfrick that is the Juban intersection at Florida BLVD. will negate any possible improvements to traffic flow from this circle.

FYI I've never been in one wreck in a roundabout. I've seen several though, that's why I go so slow. They're dangerous.

I believe they will begin work on the round-about at Juban soon. Saw Construction workers removing advertising signs all around that intersection this afternoon.
