The new layout promises to ease traffic by bringing every driver back to their starting point.
A circular success the city already describes as “surprise-free mobility.”
The inauguration took place on Tuesday, attended by three elected officials, a cut ribbon, and a driver who was still looking for the exit. At the center of the roundabout, a sign reads “All directions,” while a more honest arrow clarifies: “You are here.”
According to City Hall, the structure will reduce unnecessary trips by making them perfectly visible. “Before, people drove in circles without realizing it. Now it’s official,” said the deputy mayor for public works, before doing two extra laps to get back to her car.
Early users are divided. Some praise the smooth traffic; others regret that their destination never appears, even after several passes by the bakery. One resident claims he finally managed to arrive on time: he had left so early he ran back into the morning.
As we go to press, our reporter is still on the roundabout. He says he’s making progress toward the exit, which, given the shape of the article, does not guarantee he’ll get there.
