A Clyde River resident is raising her concerns about heavy traffic making roundabouts difficult to navigate.

Luella Bredin said that when she was trying to enter the left lane of the roundabout at MaypointRd. on Wednesday afternoon she was unable to.

"They were just streaming, so many cars were coming in," she said.

"I waited and waited and I just couldn't do it, so I turned right and went down to the bottom of the hill and turned around and came back."

'Nothing to stop it'

Bredin said that when there were traffic lights to stem the flow of cars, it wasn't difficult to enter the roundabout to go towards Cornwall.

"Now there's nothing to stop it, they just keep streaming in," she said.

"I've just talked to so many people who are so frustrated by it."
