Rural Kentucky finally got a roundabout and it went as well as you’d expect

Over on Facebook, Walker Construction has posted a ‘What not to do at roundabouts’ video, starring the baffled drivers of rural Kentucky.

The words ‘recipe’ and ‘disaster’ spring to mind. The clown music is absolutely perfect.

Is it me or does anyone else think it would’ve been a lot easier to put lights in? Or to send everyone back to traffic school and learn how to use a 4 way stop.

The clip ended up on Twitter – naturally.

An American spoke in mitigation.

I hate roundabouts so much. They are extremely uncommon in the US, let alone Kentucky. I look both ways before turning onto one because I don't trust other drivers.
My biggest peeve comes from developers selling the idea to install one, without asking nearby residents at all.
