Chaos Erupts As New Roundabout Opens in Northeastern Kentucky
Drone footage shows the chaos which ensued when a new "mini-roundabout" opened at the intersection of US 60 and KY 801 near the community of Farmers at the Bath and Rowan County Line. Numerous vehicles are shown driving on the left approach and traversing the roundabout in a clockwise direction.

| The contractor responsible for this project later posted on Facebook that flaggers were present and only permitting entrance to the roundabout from one direction at a time. As can be seen in the video, signage which traditionally directs traffic in roundabouts in the United States had not yet been installed. |
