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.



ETA:

Perfect timing.

I think you mean brake tag circles?

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.

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."

Haha well I think Alexandria's traffic circle averages an accident per day. Maybe we should pump the brakes.

LSU has two very simple roundabouts, not even full traffic circles, and the retards who don't drive it every day are just completely fricking lost when they hit it.

I often wonder the same thing. The truth has a lot to do with intelligence (lack of) and too easy of a driving test. Ok well not how easy the test is but that you dont have to take one after you get past the first one. WTF dont they continue to test? Not the driving part but put simple stuff like a traffic circle on there. If you cant pass it dont freaking drive.

traffic circles only work if you already know every single road and where it goes, go to a strange place you don't know the roads and try to read those tiny frickin signs with small lettering to see what the frick the road name is so you know where to turn and you already caused an accident or passed it up and now you have to start all over again.

bigger signs with larger easy to read lettering will help a lot but ya, most fricks also cant drive so why add confusion to it with poor hard to read signage?
