Traffic circles are fricking awesome. Especially little ones like that. The ability to move through a do nothing intersection without stopping is great.

One good thing to come out of this, we wont have to deal with the cop that made it his mission to pull over every car that didnt come to a complete stop at that pointless stop sign.

Roundabouts are great. They reduce delay, but most importantly they cut significant (severe injury or fatal) crashes by like 80%. congrats.

I think we will have to go with the whole break a few eggs to make an omelet train of thought here. I still haven't figured out why Mulberry has one anyways.

Prairieville has one right by Fred's and it is fine, no issues. Not sure why people hate roundabouts

Youngsville is the roundabout capital of Louisiana. We should have a festival. Get Wayne Toups to play in the Nunus parking lot.

I don't think we hate the roundabouts. We hate the people who can't figure them out. I fear for the MLK drivers that have to face this gauntlet

So let me get this straight...You're saying that the people in that city aren't going to be able to figure out a roundabout but it is widely used (and very successfully I might add) in the Middle East. Those frickers (who are mostly insane) have no issues, but Houma will go batshit crazy?

To be fair, MLK is the worst designed road in the country
