Traffic circle update
The new traffic circle at North Elm Street, Bass Chapel Road and Lake Jeanette Road is not the unmitigated disaster I feared.
Some motorists still seem befuddled, but most seem to be getting the hang of it.
Another plus: traffic rarely comes to a stop, it merely slows; I much prefer that to the robotic delays of a traditional stoplight.
And still another: the circle is more attractive than I pictured, with its brick sidewalks and landscaped (at least I think that's what's gonna happen) center and medians.
But I still can't picture an 18-wheeler squeezing through the darned thing.
I'll believe it when I see it.
