You'd rather encounter such drivers making mistakes at a signal or stop sign, at speed?

The ones in Walker actually say, yield to those already in the roundabout.

I really would like to meet the person who decided a round about would work in Walker, LA

I’d like to meet the person who decided that those two intersections would be fine with no street lights for 2+ years. That’s the biggest problem I’ve seen over there.. you can’t see shite when you drive through it at night.

Also the way the elevation changes when you drive between them (crossing I-12) is fricked. There’s shitty visibility as you pull up towards the roundabout. Combine that with the pitch black from no streetlights, plus Livingston Parish IQs and it’s like DOTD played a practical joke on everybody.

Of all the roundabouts you've approached, does the signage clearly spell out that those already in the roundabout have the right-of-way?? Any exceptions? I would think the DoTD would not assume everybody already knows this.

Yeah.. it says “YIELD”.
