North Bend: A new traffic circle
  < back to North Bend
                 
 
The same year we moved to North Bend, they installed a Traffic Circle as you come off the main exit into the town.  Its part of an overall traffic improvement project in the town, to cut down on congestion.
 
It took them a while, and things were a mess...
 
But, it seemed to have gotten better once folks could actually USE the turnabout...
 
 
Eventually, it started to shape up, and look a lot better.

I don't understand the side walk around it, though... :)

 
  Before too long, the cones started coming down, and the lines were painted... its odd that its two lanes wide, which causes confusion... it'd be much better, I think, if it was just one lane, but its STILL better than it was, that's for sure...

Now, we just got to get people to understand what do to!  Its painted on the road, and there's lots of signs, but I guess folks can't follow directions well enough.
