I'm sure they made it big enough to get semis through, so I'd guess they'll just send a plow truck through and push the snow on out one end or another.

Typically the roundabouts are designed with the turn radius of large trucks/semis in mind. However, that doesn't always mean the driver will compensate the turn correctly. So I can see what you're talking about.

Keep in mind too that plow trucks are much smaller/shorter than semis and will be able to negotiate the turns better.

I have also seen that they plow the snow to the center and then come back with the large blower and load it out.

that might be what they have to do, becuase if there just going to push it around, all the roads would never be clean

Anybody who needs a little laughter should park in the Outpost parking lot and watch the traffic for a while. Never heard so many horns honking in such a short time.

In re: to the semi's going over the curb. They are typically designed (or at least the ones on 7) with the "soft" curb on the inside so that trailers (if needed) can go up on them.

I think they need to expand the truck aprons a little further out based on the wheel ruts inside and outside of the roundabout. I don't foresee much grass growth in those areas....

Oh. They must have had another one go through right after it opened and tore it all up that time too?

Yes. There are several wide load rigs on the road.

You act like the only place the shoulder or the area just off the shoulder gets ripped up is in a roundabout. There are plenty of semi's and otherwise long loads/wide loads that drive off the shoulder or over the apron when turning the corner.

As someone else mentioned you can't teach someone how to drive properly and to stay on the road.

How many corner curbs do semis bump over while trying to turn? ALOT.
