The developers of the next roundabout, where Vale Park, Calumet and Roosevelt meet, need to observe the present roundabout at Sturdy Road and LaPorte Avenue.

The yield signs are ignored by most seasoned drivers! Numerous times drivers have nearly hit me when I was in the roundabout already. There seems to be a misconception that the turn lane people don't need to yield!

The new roundabout will be a nightmare with three very busy roads meeting with yield signs between all those cars! I will be avoiding that area at all costs!
