Sharon Kennedy: Avoiding the roundabout
By Sharon Kennedy
Special to the Tribune
I will drive many extra miles to avoid Sault Ste. Marie’s one and only roundabout. It and I are not on friendly terms. I dislike it as much as it dislikes me. It’s a nuisance, a botheration and a potentially lethal trap for novice motorists. Most drivers approach it cautiously, but there are always smart alecks who know best and barrel through without giving a thought to yielding. That’s why I’ll take a longer route if I need to shop at a store on the Business Spur.
