The roundabout that has had many automobile accidents in. Most people don’t like Mayor Pete’s Smart Streets or the stupid roundabouts. Michigan Street one way north and, Main Street one way south, was more efficient. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to snow plow a roundabout.
Waste of time striping anything bc NOBODY knows how to use that roundabout. Every single time I go through there, almost daily, someone almost hits me, usually northbound idiots who refuse to slow down or stop for right of way flying off Michigan. Almost as frequently southbound michigan drivers as well. THANKS MAYOR PETE FOR RUINING OUR STREETS. Just take that roundabout OUT and put traffic lights in!!!!!!
I’m quite surprised the lunatics that run the city of South Bend, haven’t put up a life-size statue of Mayor Pete, in the middle of that roundabout. His smart streets qualify him to be the United States Transportation secretary.
