Same for BR L’auberge.
Damn them and their roundness!
You are going to LOVE the I-10 widening plan in Baton Rouge.

Roundabout

I’ve witnessed about 1,734 near accidents at the hammond one

Is it the roundabout that’s stupid or the drivers?

I hated going around Lee circle. How long has it been there and people still get it wrong.

I love the ones in Hammond by the Mall. I just close my eyes and hit the gas.

They’ve started adding some roundabouts here in Austin, they do save time that would otherwise be spent sitting at a light and usually seem to run smoothly, but all it takes is one confused old person and the whole thing goes to shite.

The one at Jackson, Horseshoe/Twin Bridges and Lodi is almost ready. Cannot wait.

Louisiana decided to start constructing roundabouts in significant numbers while most Louisiana drivers had zero experience in using them.

Explain this. I felt it was more enjoyable exiting I-12 out there from prior experiences.

The Hammond roundabouts are fantastic and will be a model of how interchanges will be designed moving forward.

Wrong, its more like
or they just stop mid circle but I couldn't find a gif. I need to go to Walker and film that one for about 10 minutes, guaranteed to get at least one.

About as well as the average driver in Louisiana handles signal controlled intersections: poorly.
But at least in a roundabout, when someone is an idiot, people probably won't die.
