Flowerclock Roundabout Construction Delayed

Fairhope, Alabama 

 

Next roundabout location.

ENGINEERING COMPLETED

Start of construction on the next city's roundabout at the flowerclock junction on the north side of town has been pushed back to mid-summer, according to city engineer Richard Johnson. 

Some additional property was needed for the project but it is just a matter of transferring ownership, since it is city property. It had been hoped the project could be underway by spring.

The Eastern Shore MPO ALDOT, and city are partnering on the project, which should cost about $1 million.

The fact that people cannot properly navigate a two way stop does not bode well for a roundabout.

Can they put a Merry Go Round in the center ?

A roundabout is much safer than stop sign or red light.

Roundabouts are only “safer” if drivers use them properly. That means no tailgating, speeding, or stopping in them. In addition to the bad drivers we have in Fairhope, how about the visitors using them for the first time?
A good argument could be made for metered stop lights rather than roundabouts…….
