        I totally agree with you. I have seen persons speeding up when others try to merge into the traffic coming off the round about. Just ridiculous. Turn it back to a single lane going around the round about.

    Education is key! I would suggest that DMV do a simulation on how to use the roundabout and at the intersection leading on to admin drive from Noel Lloyd park. Some drivers still do not know how to navigate these areas.

      Also, seems like most people don’t realize that a Stop Sign means they should stop for oncoming traffic.

      People just stupid. The roundabout traverse is as easy as 123

    That roundabout and all the others needs tearing up and replacing with mini roundabouts. More road surface means better traffic flow. And the traffic lights should be replaced with mini roundabouts as well.

    Admin drive needs a stop light like the one by patsy lake building on the high way. The stop sign is on the ground and many people don't pay attention. Accident waiting to happen. Let's be proactive. The round about by shell gas station needs to be down size to allow traffic to flow much better.
