You think round-de-bouts are bad. Wait untill you see this.

We have a limited number of these in NC, and they work surprisingly well. They take up considerably less real estate than a cloverleaf, overpass of ramped intersection. Properly engineered, they are easily navigated with any type vehicle or combination vehicle.

If the DOT has misjudged the traffic volumes, it could make it something less than desirable for certain vehicles.

Those U-turns will be located a good quarter mile, or more, from the intersection, so they won't be the white knuckle experience described here.
