Good morning,
I used the roundabout at eastbound River Islands Parkway (RI Pkwy) and Norbeck regularly to get home. I've had a few near-misses due to drivers westbound on RI Pkwy not yielding to cars already in the roundabout. I have witnessed a couple of accidents there also. I think that because RI Pkwy is a major road, drivers think they have the right-of-way and maybe due also to ignorance of traffic rules regarding runabouts. Although there is a yield sign at lamp post before entering the roundabout, most drivers miss it.
I suggest that "YIELD" be painted on the pavement at each entrance to the roundabout, similar to stop signs. I think these yield markings will make the drivers pay more attention prior to entering the roundabout and reduce near-misses and accidents.
