Both of the roundabouts in Plymouth and Meredith have natural grey granite blocks or cobbles in the concentric infield area designed probably to be maybe like a sort of rumble strip or something for the rear wheels of large trailers like the standard 53' tractor trailers when their rear wheels automatically track on a tighter radius then the front steering wheels of large trucks.

So, if both the Meredith and Plymouth roundabouts, constructed about three years ago, went with very nice looking granite cobbles, then why the heck did not Laconia follow their lead and do the same thing.......huh.......why not?

Here's my two cents on why it is what it is........for Bike Week.....the smooth concrete will be adapted into a motorcycle "WALL of DEATH" by constructing a smooth concrete wall that blends with the existing concrete apron. ......and then it's ready to ride.......ladies & gentlemen.......please start your engines for our next Wall of Death presentation...... www.americanwallofdeath.com/ ..... down at the new Weirs Beach 1.1-million dollar Roundabout!
