The first [[traffic circle]] in Texas was constructed in Waco in 1933 at the intersections of US 81 and US 77.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Luna |first1=Melinda |title=The Waco Traffic Circle: An Early Texas Roundabout |url=https://www.texasce.org/tce-news/the-waco-traffic-circle-an-early-texas-roundabout/ |website=ASCE |access-date=May 7, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231201093351/https://www.texasce.org/tce-news/the-waco-traffic-circle-an-early-texas-roundabout/ |archive-date=December 1, 2023 }}</ref>  It was later expanded to include intersections with Valley Mills Dr. and La Salle Ave.  Drivers were confused and upset by the circle when it was first constructed, which even led to lawsuits.  In 2013 a lone star was added to the center of the circle.  Lane markings and new signage were added in 2018 to improve traffic flow and to help guide drivers.<ref>{{cite web |title=Waco: Traffic circle sees improvements for drivers |url=https://www.kwtx.com/content/news/Waco-traffic-circle-sees-improvements-for-drivers-484094701.html |website=KWTX |date=May 30, 2018 |access-date=May 7, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180602232546/https://www.kwtx.com/content/news/Waco-traffic-circle-sees-improvements-for-drivers-484094701.html |archive-date=June 2, 2018 }}</ref>
