I’ve driven on these in many different states. The larger the diameter the safer they are and easier to navigate. Wait until you get into one with two or three big rigs. You’ll need to change more than lanes.

People can’t even drive on Avalon Bridge in a straight line without getting killed. Can’t wait to see 17th and the 3 mile bridge. 17th should be completely closed, no a nice park and boat ramp placed. Once the 3 mile bridge comes to a stop, which it will, we will have traffic backed up to Scenic Hwy. Pensacola better hire more policeman, they are going to need it!

There are no LEFT turns in a roundabout.

They are the Apple of intersections. There is one in Portsmouth, NH that people approach at highway speed at I-95 and US1 and a state road. Never once did I have to stop at that intersection. It was known locally as the Circle of Death. But very few accidents even though the speed there averaged 45-50 mph. Relax.

I want a camera installed high above the roundabout. Would love to see people pull a Dukes of Hazard over the center. We all know there are going to be some epic ones.

I’ve used it 3 times. Once southbound turning left onto hilltop. Twice turning from hilltop right.

With the holiday and probably most not knowing it’s open there’s been little to zero traffic.
However, the second right turn onto Langley i witnesses a southbound not even slowing down. We would have had the right of way had we been turning southbound. We would have absolutely been hit on the side.

This is just plain stupid.

In a roundabout way, this is going to cause more accidents and nonsense than we’re already dealing with.

There are a number of round-a-bouts in Okaloosa County. They always work great. Just do what the signs say to do and follow the lines. Reduces street speeding.

I don’t see why they’re necessary when Mayor Robinson says that the new soccer fields (that no one in Scenic Heights asked for) won’t increase traffic to our area!
