Good points. I live near Sea Breeze, and heading east on Bailey Trail, approaching the BV roundabout, there is a decorative brick wall with some plantings around it that completely obscures one's view of the oncoming traffic, as one approaches the Yield sign. You really have to STOP, because in that split second that you can't see what's coming, well, someone could be rounding the curve.
Fortunately, there is seldom a lot of traffic coming in that direction, off of Bailey onto the roundabout, compared to one roundabout south at St. Charles (what a mess that one is!), but it's a bad design.
