    Not bad, but four wheelers come flying up and I've seen many instances where a truck will be in right lane and car in left will turn right. It's a double right lane turn, but trucks have to run into both lanes causing instant brake checks with speeding cars I'm sure accidents often. I don't understand having the inner lane allowed to turn right.

    Winn-Dixie grocery distribution center is near that petro . They shined a black light in my trailer and said I had ants. And refused the whole load

    The lanes in the roundabout are wider than regular lanes. I didn't have to run out of my lane too far. And I'm normally the first one to pitch a fit about roundabouts.

    The point is, I don't have to turn left to get out of the Petro anymore. (Actually you can't turn left out of there anymore.)

    That's OK, its illegal to pass in a roundabout anyway.

    The thing I hate about roundabouts is after the locals get used to it and start whipping through them like lightning. Good traffic flow for the cars but too plugged up to get a truck in there.

    There is one good thing about Roundabouts, if you miss your turn, it's easy to get turned around.

    I was gonna park at that Petro in Hammond last Sunday, but at 3:30 pm when I checked the app, said there were 0 parking spaces available. Then I saw it had 53 pay spots and knew why, ridiculous...

    I parked at the Tiger at the 139 instead...

    The restaurant at the TIger looks like a dump but they have great authentic Cajun food. I'd always stop and eat there any chance I could get.
