Lafayette and the surrounding areas are known for putting roundabouts at busy intersections. However, was this the first roundabout in Lafayette?

We've seen some "fancy" roundabouts show up in Lafayette, Youngsville, and Scott, but was this simple painting really the first roundabout in the area?

This "roundabout" is in the Wendy's parking lot off Ambassador Caffery. As you can see, arrows are painted to direct you around the roundabout and it serves the same purpose as those roundabouts at intersections.

While this roundabout may not be as nice or as complicated as some in Lafayette Parish, it serves the same purpose. Thus, I am calling this painting as the FIRST roundabout in Lafayette!!!
