Roundabout saves lives, DOT says

Approaching a roundabout the first time might throw fear into a driver in South Carolina, but the DOT believes getting the hang of it shouldn’t take long.  By next year, Oconee drivers will face the first roundabout in their county.  The DOT has issued contract to convert Wells Highway and Strawberry Farm Road/Mormon Church Road to a roundabout.  The DOT’s Pete Poore writes, “It’s in the best interest of drivers in the state to learn how to use roundabouts.  One reason,” he says, “is that they are proving to be the safest places on the road.”
