Truckee plans seven more roundabouts
By Jim Hemig, Moonshine Ink
We all have stories of out-of-towners who can’t seem to get it right. You know the ones, the drivers who stop right in the middle of the roundabout to let you enter, which is nice, but wrong. Or those who don’t even bother to look on their way in, blasting through the circle, oblivious to any other cars. At least it’s easy to spot the tourists in our town!
I personally love roundabouts, also known as traffic circles. Sometimes I’ll skip my exit and just go around and around. Is that legal?
I like them so much I have a hard time fully stopping at stop signs. Now, I know that’s illegal.
Fully on the roundabout bandwagon, Truckee now has seven, last I counted. Does seven seem excessive for a small town? What if I told you Truckee plans to add seven more in the next several years?
