From northbound Leland, I enter to make a left turn onto westbound Basile. I think that cars going straight from southbound Leland should yield to me when I am already in the roundabout.

There is usually only one “ideal” remote drop-off point and mass chaos occurs there.3. The afternoon pickup is worse. Pa...
