Here’s what roundabouts are all about according to LaDOTD

* Roundabouts are one-way, circular intersections designed to improve safety and efficiency for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians.

* In a roundabout, traffic flows through a center island counterclockwise.

* A roundabout redirects some of the conflicting traffic, such as left turns, which cause crashes at traditional intersections. This is because drivers enter and exit the roundabout through a series of right-hand turns.
