Just two good ol' boys,
Never meaning no harm
Beats all you never saw,
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they were born

You would be surprised how many drivers in Baton Rouge can’t handle a roundabout

Denham now has 3 (and Walker has the big one at the exit, although I don't go there often) and I can assure you that your comment is correct. Plus they are building another one on Juban and Buddy Ellis. I will have to drive through that one every day.

On a side note, why they didn't build the first one on Juban and Florida instead of Florida and Eden Church makes me furious. The traffic at that light backs up through the circle at Eden Church. Whoever made the decision to build that one first is an idiot and should be fired.

It had to do with all the utilities that had to be re-routed at Juban/Florida, but, yeah, that shite is taking waaaay too long,

I counted 56 signs around the new double roundabout In Youngsville/Milton. It’s still not enough. They need one that says STOP YIELDING once you’re in the circle

So at least now I know they are actually planning on doing it. Do you know a time frame?

Besides the obvious damage to the undercarriage of that car, it made it kind of well surprisingly.

I have almost rear ended multiple people because of this. And then I lay on the horn and they look at me like I'm the idiot.

They may wait until they are close to finishing the widening of Juban between Florida and I12.

Probably 2 years.

Personally, I love them but they seem to baffle a lot of people.

I had a friend that use to drive over one in high school. One of our other friends thought it was bad arse and didn’t one night and absolute smoked a brick wall the city put up to stop high schoolers from doing it.

I’ve only had to stop at the one at 59 and Sharp in Mandeville a few times in the whole time it’s been there.

I love roundabouts and get enraged at drivers that don’t understand them

That does need to happen though. On weekends in the middle of the day traffic heading to Florida is backed up all the way to Juban Crossing sometimes. Of course, if there were a circle there, that wouldn't be the case. So I go down Forest Delatte to Pete's to hit that part of town on the weekends now.
