Going around again, and again . . .

Recently, I have been enjoying the use of a roundabout in Chattanooga, Tennessee just east of Interstate 75.  As an appraiser, primarily in litigation support for eminent domain, I have been bidding on small Georgia DOT right of way appraisal acquisition projects for roundabouts in North Georgia.  So my worlds have collided - but not literally thank goodness.

Originally, I thought it was crazy.  I have driven in Southern Germany in the roundabouts and the folks there get it.  Not as much here in the states however.  But, after using this particular location in East Tennessee in the past couple of weeks, I find I am becoming accustomed to it, and actually like not having to wait for the light - only the traffic.

Good call GDOT!

Georgia & Tennessee are not the only states implementing this!
