Throwing more signs with confusing circles and arrows going every which way, at 80,000 powder heads is only adding to the confusion.

And those that think that single lane roundabouts will create big backups should consider this. If I’m waiting in the right lane to enter a roundabout intending to take the first exit and there is a vehicle coming around the bend in the inner lane, I must wait until it passes to enter (even if that vehicle would be continuing on in the roundabout). So where’s the big benefit of the two lanes.

Single lane roundabouts like this one should have been built here from the get go considering the demographics of TV which includes reflex diminished seniors, out of state snow birds, first time previewers, and right hand challenged Brits.
