EvansRoundabout3The City of Chilliwack is once again holding an open house for people who haven’t quite gotten the knack of navigating roundabouts.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz says even though roundabouts have been around for a few years now, there are still a lot of nervous drivers out there.

“They’re not quite sure of the proper etiquette and protocol of entering and exiting a roundabout. The single lane ones seem to be a little easier for people to navigate but there are some who will do anything to avoid the two lane roundabouts.”

Gaetz says hopefully the open houses will help because roundabouts aren’t going anywhere.

“I think people just need to know that roundabouts are here to stay and that more are coming to our community. The next one’s that are planned are for the Prest road area, and we want to make sure that all drivers are comfortable with them.”

The open house will be at the Evergreen Hall this Thursday, from 5:30 to 8.
