If they were named something different, people would like them better. See 1:07
Henry won't be Driving for the next 90 Days due to the Old Mill Rd. Roundabout!Trying to get onto SB I69 from WB DuPont Road is absolutely insane. As a punishment, I want whomever came up with that design to have to negotiate it over and over for the entire rush hour for a month. Oh, and the same for Tom Henry as well.
I've made the early morning mistake of forgetting which vehicle I'm in and the appropriate entry speed for the roundabout. For some reason a 20' long 5500lb truck on 245/70/17 truck tires does not react the same way as my 2013 Rio SX on coilovers and 205/50 RT615's. But I learned that yes, you can enter that one at 40 in the truck and not die. You just won't stay in your lane nor maintain that speed.Me when I see a roundabout.
My brain. Yep looks clear in every direction...we got this.
My inner 16 year old...bet we can make it around faster than we did last time.
*note the roundabouts I encounter the most are in the rural area of a little town called Whiteland.
Head on is head on, I would think that head on after a four way stop is a bit slower... There are a few circumstances where roundabouts make sense, like when 5 roads intersect at the same place. Apparently the old story about the cowpath was alive and well in northern Indiana....It does happen but even if there is an accident they are much more survivable and less costly…
Just not the same speeds as four way stops…Head on is head on, I would think that head on after a four way stop is a bit slower...

Local news just released an article about the roundabout coming to Dubois county and people are losing thier minds over it. You would think they just anounce they state is going to start killing all first borns.They are going to install one in Dubois County at Bretzville Junction (intersection of 162 and 64). It will be the first one that I know of in Dubois County, and possibly the surrounding counties, so it will be a giant mess for awhile.
The closest thing we have is the square around the courthouse in Jasper, and the traffic flow for that is bass ackwards. The incoming traffic has the right of way and traffic in the square has to yield.
I love round abouts, but they can be a mess if nobody knows how to use them.
You'd prefer notaroundabout like this.
Overhead view of the NobodyGo roundabout.
It works both waysI’ve seen several indicators that some people go straight through some roundabouts.

No real preference, they both look like lots of fun.You'd prefer notaroundabout like this.
