The concept of a roundabout isn’t that complex. You pull up, wait until there’s a safe opening in the flow of traffic, enter the circle, and go with the flow until you turn off at the desired exit. Of course, these fancy circle roads aren’t exactly common, which is why folks in Rowan County, Kentucky were utterly confused when they attempted to navigate their first-ever roundabout.
Roughly 4,000 cars pass through this intersection of Routes 60 and 801 in Morehead, Kentucky each day. In addition to being a busy roadway, the four-way stop is also coined as a rather dangerous one. Despite having flashing lights, stop signs, and other traffic control devices, the intersection has earned a reputation for a high number of severe crashes, as reported by local news station WKYT. Officials decided that the best way to reduce the severity of the accidents was to set up a roundabout.
