RV accident at a Roundabout.
This accident took place in Worthington, MN not to far away from me. I heard that the man driving had a hart attack but, I don't know for sure. I hope the link works. https://www.facebook.com/tina...

They put a roundabout on a rural road out by me that is a heavily traveled North/South route. well they made it so tight that semis cannot negotiate it. and there was no need for it, because the intersection it was put in doesn't see that much side road traffic!
Are you talking about the one on Rte 47? That would be a case of the state being economical (cheap) and buying the minimal amount of land required for a roundabout. I believe the reason it was put in was to reduce backups on Rte 47 caused by the stop signs which were there previously. From what I have seen traffic flow has improved.

You should see the new ridiculous interchanges they now have for expressways with the lanes switching sides over the bridge. completely ridiculous!
I assume you are referring to a Diverging Diamond Interchange. Here’s an explanation of how they work and their potential advantages.
