Dumb. Their populace cannot handle the simplistic rules of the roundabout. I hate it more than the previous big rig clogging 51 situation. Who thought this would be a good idea?

It's a circle jerk.

roundabouts work great when people know how to use them

Theyre only halfway done so they are not in full use yet, dumbass.

The grocery stores are over by 190. WTF were you doing by the interstate?

Roundabouts are awesome (once people learn to use them)

Good luck in Hammond, though

All they really needed to do was put a traffic light at the truck stops and sync the i12 & club deluxe lights so that the rigs could get back to the interstate without much of a problem - instead they chose this and virtually nobody knows how to drive them, and they didn't make 'em wide enough for an 18 wheeler to stay in one lane while taking the tight turns.

Smooth move, exlax.

Those things are great. My only complaint is that there are going to be 3 of them in a row. That one just south of the interstate is going to be pointless when the other two are done.

I haven't seen this particular roundabout, but generally roundabouts are built with a mountable curb around the median for 18 wheelers.

I love roundabouts because they let you know who is a moron and who isn't. People will learn to use them and they are awesome when they do.

Horrible location. 3 within 100 yards. 2 at interstate exits and one right by the truck stop. What makes it worse is that one is two lanes and those idiots don't know how to handle it

That exit was a clusterfrick with the 18 wheelers. Maybe wait until it is finished construction before we decide it doesn't work.
