USA: Video: Roundabout confuses US drivers

A video is circulating on the Internet of a newly built roundabout in the US state of Kentucky. This still seems to be overwhelming for drivers.

German cities have already conquered the roundabouts. They are supposed to calm the traffic and create an even flow of traffic. In the USA gyroscopes are still relatively new. In rural areas in particular, they still seem to cause drivers a few problems, as the drone video from Rowan County in the US state of Kentucky shows.

Some drivers turn wrong at the roundabout, others simply stop in the middle of the roundabout, the exit becomes the second entrance. Chaos in the roundabout. The video has now been shared thousands of times and has already had several hundred thousand views on YouTube.

Kentucky roundabout aims to prevent accident blackspots

The construction company was happy despite the bizarre video. The video finally shows drivers what mistakes can be made in a roundabout, said a spokesman for the local broadcaster WKYT. In the meantime, a video has been posted showing all motorists using the roundabout correctly.

The roundabout was built to make this place safer. For example, a car driver told the local broadcaster that many accidents had happened there in recent years. The drivers did not follow the traffic signs. So it is a good thing that a roundabout is now regulating traffic. Provided you use it properly. (THE)
