Walk Jackson Week 3: For this week let’s walk the Hubble Creek Trail again. Start at Brookside Park and walk to the Jackson Civic Center where the trail currently ends. This trail follows Hubble Creek and takes you through the Sunset Hills neighborhood. Hubble Creek not only provides beautiful landscapes, it is the primary storm drain for the city. At the end of the trail if you walk on the sidewalk and cross the creek, the Walk Jackson 2026 sign will be west of the creek.
Hubble creek is not our feature this week; it is the new roundabout at North High Street (Hwy 61) and Deerwood Dr. Jackson drivers can safely navigate roundabouts by following a few essential rules: As you approach, slow down to 20 mph or less and look to your left; you must yield the right of way to all traffic already circulating within the roundabout. Always travel counter-clockwise around the central island and use your right turn signal as you prepare to exit to alert other motorists. Be mindful of large vehicles like semi-trucks or farm equipment, which may require extra space and use of the "truck apron" to maneuver. Additionally, always watch for pedestrians and cyclists at entry and exit points, and never stop inside the roundabout—if an emergency vehicle approaches, exit first and then pull over to the right. The main thing if you are driving is to slow down to the suggested speed, not the primary speed limit, and to be courteous to other drivers. For pedestrians, while drivers in the City of Jackson are required to stop for pedestrians, please use caution. The new round about does have a signed cross walk with flashing warning lights.
