With maybe the exception of the old-timers in Alexandria who have been doing it for years, why can't Louisianians comprehend roundabouts?


From Hammond to Colliston to Youngsville to Denham for some reason they just cannot get it right!

BTW:
Just kidding about Colliston, they wish they had a roundabout.

Perfect timing.

There's a traffic circle where I'm at where people will just go left one quarter instead of properly going three quarters around the right if they need to turn left.

It is scary.

Louisiana people would slit your throat and steal your wallet for abortion money if you so much as look at them funny. They ain't good folk.

They are installing 3 or 4 on one of the busiest roads in West Monroe soon. I can't wait to see what a cluster that is going to be.


On a side note a kid down the road from me has a hopped up new Camaro and he is just chomping at the bit to lay black marks all the way around them.

Traffic circles, like crop circles, are a sign we are at the end times.

The mark of the beast 666 is just three endless traffic circles. You can drive in then circle forever.

Go get right with the lord and prepare.

You guys can't even comprehend merging or the fact that there is something on the other side of a hill. You were never going to get traffic circles.

"In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see
I'll be there with you."

They're almost the same thing but a roundabout is the British version so you drive clockwise around them like the ones at l'auberge.
