Wanna Play a Game of Chicken ???
If you love a good game of "chicken" where you see who is the first one to flinch or give in ...try the Hwy. 62 roundabout heading toward Amazon and River Ridge. It's about as challenging and exciting place as there is in Clark Co.
This roundabout has been controversial from the start due to many accidents and the complexity of the many roads and highways that feed into this area. That along with the inexperience of local drivers navigating roundabouts (which are fairly new to this area) that make travelling through this one a harrowing experience at times.
The BatBlog actually likes the concept of a roundabout as it keeps traffic moving for the most part pretty smoothly. As we see it the major problem is the drivers through lack of knowledge of how these intersections operate and the newness of it. It is understandable the confusion when entering this area for the first time as there are so many options and different routes available. Until drivers become more savvy and remember to always yield it makes for an exciting game of "Chicken"....

The problem with our roundabouts.... the circle is too small for semi trailers to remain within the lines.
ReplyDeleteI have had many close calls!
The idea of it is good, but the design is terrible and dangerous. Especially when there are semi trucks trying to navigate it.
ReplyDeleteYeeehaaaw!
ReplyDeleteThis is as much fun as driving at the Jeffersonville Sportsdrome!
Floor it and blast into the traffic!
No wimps, hit the gas!
Drive them every day for work. I have no problems with them. Go slow and figure out what "yield" means!
ReplyDeleteI agree Wesley...I really have no problems and they do keep traffic flowing smoothly, but you must be alert for those who DON'T know what "yield" means as I've had a couple of close calls from drivers that DIDN'T "yield"....
ReplyDeleteand the 1st Anon. is right about the semis....
ReplyDeleteSupposedly when the heavy haul road is done semi's will be directed to it and bypass 62 all together.
ReplyDeleteThat will be good.

ReplyDeleteTrue point HT. But watching out for idiots on the road is pretty much something that we all have to do everywhere anyways.
