The roundabouts are 100% an improvement. The roundabouts bring their own challenges, but the prior setup was a nightmare.

I’ve never experienced worse on/off ramps than that location. It’s unbelievably dangerous and baffling that it’s not addressed.


The only dangerous part is the exit on the west bound side. There is a blind spot where you you can't see if traffic is backed up on the off ramp. The only problem with the roundabouts are people that are too stupid to understand how they work. The worst are the ppl that stop before entering the circle when there is no traffic in the circle or the ppl that yield to imaginary traffic. It is 100 times better than it used to be.

Cloverleaf interchanges need to be sent to hell to join the people who invented them.


They are fine in BFE

Not anywhere in Louisiana though

The cloverleaf at I-12 and I-55 is wonderful as well.


When exiting I-12 East to go I-55 North, I’m always amazed that the setup still exists. It feels very, very dangerous.

I agree, and the three roundabouts one after the other creates a race-track mentality.


I just left there a couple of days ago and couldn't believe how ridiculous that was.

We never had all the ‘naders before they put in all the roundabouts.

That intersection is just too busy for a cloverleaf setup, same with I-12/Airline. Accidents are bound to happen.
