Orem Roundabout

Believe it or not someone has taken the time to create a website about roundabouts and Orem is on the list.

There is a roundabout on the north side of 800 North street (arround 450 West) that may be worthy of inclusion. I'm not sure if that roundabout is owned by Pinecrest or the City of Orem.

I've taken a few photos to send to the above-mentioned site.

This roundabout has a few traffic problems. Often the patrons of the nearby bank decided to cut the wrong way around the roundabout (they turn left on the roundabout to exit onto 800 North). Also, when traffic is busy, vehicles waiting to turn on to 800 North get backed up into the roundabout which means vehicles at other points of the circle are stopped as well. This roundabout might work better if it were placed another 150 feet to the North.
