Very nice shot DA.    Appears the truck is the issue.  Did he park illegally or is he broken down?  In any case that would create an issue in the roundabout.

The truck was picking up the white van that had crashed or broken down,  not sure which as there was a lot of broken plastic in the road but I didnt spot any damage so that could have been from something else.

I absolutely hate roundabouts, and they seem to be making new ones all over Louisiana.

I always thought there were very few roundabouts in the USA.

We had a few here 30+ years ago, but they were just about all removed.  In the past 2-3 years they have started building them again.

Yes. They're asking for a favourable report even before they send it back?  That's a bit previous

I think I understand what happened,    when the parcel appeared to get stuck in customs I emailed DJI for assistance,  it was that email they were following up on.

Its now been shipped back today.  So we will see how long it takes to get back.

Does sound like the residue from a crash.  Could have been from a previous crash or a later crash.  Guess you just never know.

Usually roundabouts work okay, even if I would usually prefer traditional intersections. However, when something like this happens in these...

Fun story,   see where it says No Entry,   I walking out of there very early one mornings. about 5:30am nd 5 horses with two riders came up to that roundabout and turned up the no entry road,   I had to leap out of the way,  I was not impressed.

I see why not. Sure looks like being a bit oblivious there could cause quite the chaos, just like in your case or like in this picture.

The No Entry was a new road layout,  well I say New,   it was 3 years ago but the New signs are still up.
