Now that the roundabouts are finished traffic could move smoothly. However, I guess the local folks don’t realize that this is a yield not STOP roundabout. Has anyone traveled through this roundabout and noticed the locals coming to complete stops?

There's an adjustment phase for sure. Hopefully it catches on....

There is one on the way to my family's property in Central/Pride and it's a cluster as well.

So you are shocked that a bunch of rural country folks that never drove through a roundabout do not know how to drive through a roundabout? Shocking!

Oh you mean both lanes go left coming off the interstate? Let’s sit in a 20 deep line in the far left lane and no one use the right lane.

fricking idiots

Lol. I had to take a horse to Robichaux Ranch the other day. Those poor bastards in Henderson will take six months to master the roundabouts.

Took em as long to figure them out in Laffy

The left lane is the "safe" lane and allows you to blow thru pass Pendarvis on the north side cause the right lane merges left twice dumbass

Haha, my son's birthday party was at the go cart place there and I hadn't taken that exit in a while. It was a shock. And yes people are retarded and don't use it right yet.

I live in Youngsville aka the town of 1,000 roundabouts, so I was glad to see it obviously.

The roundabout at the end of Morgan Ave. still vexes some of the local drivers

Ummm.... when you come off the interstate it has one lane shoot off to the right to turn right and go towards French settlement.

The other two lanes both enter the round about and go left over the bridge. There’s even a nifty little sign right there coming off the interstate saying this.

Also, the left lane puts you into the center of the round about while the right lane puts you in the safer outer lane where you only merge to one car instead of two then once out of the round about you zipper merge in.

I use these roundabouts quite a bit and never noticed anyone complete stopping.

I’m happy they are finally installed though. Those cops who were there previously who were supposed to be regulating that awful traffic would rather sit in their air conditioned vehicles than get out and do their jobs

Yes

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we'll be there and we'll see you
Ten true summers we'll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you'll see
I'll be there with you

Yes, but you have to admit, this is more confusing/complicated than right lane turns right, left lane turns left.
