Roundabout Promises To Be Alot Of Fun!

The New Roundabout promises to be more fun than a carnival ride! Hopefully. For the opening ceremony on Sunday there'll be bagpipes and antique cars and a ribbon cutting ceremony, and a trolley doing donuts in the roundabout, a parade, and the Mayor giving a long boring speech. Fun for everybody! But just like any carnival ride there will be some rules:



Here you can read more about How To Navigate Through a Roundabout. The city is apparently anticipating a lot of people approaching the roundabout slowly in their vehicles, stopping before entering the roundabout, and getting out of their vehicles and scratching their heads and wondering what do I do? What do I do?


I say come on man, people are not that dumb, are they? The roundabout may not be much to look at, but it certainly doesn't look hard to navigate. Do we really need rules? Just drive your car into the circle and exit on your street, it's not rocket science. I guess the city is afraid that cars will enter the roundabout and get trapped in there, going round in round for hours until they run out of gas.

But I'll be trying the roundabout out this weekend. It should be fun. And to prove how much fun it is I'll be driving around it about 10 times or so, just to test it out. I should get a video of that. But anyway, if you want to give the new roundabout a whirl, the ride opens Sunday after 3pm. Be there or be a square!

Hurry! Hurry! Drive right up and ride the roundabout, fun for all ages.
