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


Roundabout
Four way stop
Stop sign in general
Flashing red lights
Merge

I nearly caused a massive pile up in a roundabout in Grand Cayman. Driving on the left hand side of the road is hard enough, then 3 lane roundabouts got thrown at me.

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 had a 1981 Datsun 510 and hit the O’Neal at Florida Blvd intersection one night at about 40 mph. I have absolutely no clue how the axles didn’t break in half. I ended up landing in the other lane. If a car would have been there, I definitely would have killed someone.

I pray to God kids aren’t still as stupid as I was at 16.

The elevated roundabout in Metry with Airline underneath it and Causeway above it can get pretty hectic, makes me wish for that ol peaceful Alex roundabout.

Louisiana drivers can’t navigate a four way stop. How are you going to come her and expect them to navigate a traffic circle?

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


I had a lady stop and wave me through (while she was in the circle) just the other day at this traffic circle.

I don't think a whole lot of Louisiana drivers understand the concept of a yield sign either. The most famous example is coming off I-10 at the Bluebonnet/Mall of Louisiana exit Westbound. The dipshits coming straight from Siegen have a yield sign and must yield to the traffic coming off the interstate. I can't tell you how many times I see the dipshits just blazing through the yield without a care in the world.

Anyone who spent time around LC after Laura will have horror stories of just how bad people are at navigating a four way stop.

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.


An alarming percentage of frickers can't even navigate a four-way stop, and we are expecting them to do better when a circle is thrown in the mix?

What about flashing yellow stoplight? 90%+ Nola drivers stop.
