Miscue at Linglestown roundabout
Somebody drove into the dirt area of the roundabout island at the square and mowed down signs early this afternoon. Pictured is a construction worker erecting a temporary sign to replace the damaged one.
Too bad, I really supported the idea of the roundabouts, but Lower Paxton really screwed up. They based everything on keeping the flag pole instead of what was needed to keep traffic flowing. Whoever was in charge of this fiasco should resign.
round abouts are good, we just have to wait out this "learning" process. Before we know it they won't get so much bad press and people will be able to drive through them without all the hesitancy and/or SPEED! : )

That somebody was a huge tractor trailer. . .dragged one sign 90 ft!
Or someone who doesn't like the new roundabout and was showing their displeasure.

I think the roundabouts are great. I don't know why everyone is complaining.
