Cheaper to just paint more lines on existing infrastructure, however unsuitable.
Life's a lot easier for those that got somewhere but have no idea how.Yet if it's for a road, they find ways to make the space.
Oh god. If it's so unintuitive that it requires a video guide for the 20% of ******* idiots that somehow obtained/still have their licence then scrap it.![]()
Video guide made for Hemel Hempstead's 'Dutch-style' roundabout
A council uploads a video to show how people should use a new roundabout that helps cyclists.www.bbc.co.uk
Hmmm this will be interesting. Although the one in Cambridge saw an increase in collisions. I would still never assume if using one.
I wouldn't say scap it but yes it's clearly going to lead to more collisions, initially. Trying to change the culture of motor normalisation isn't helped with infrastructure that is ill thought out and not part of a proper cycling routes.Oh god.

That is ridiculous. The expectation that cyclists stop for pedestrians and won't short cut across the crossings anyway. Priority to the cyclists, stopping all/any traffic on exit of a roundabout is dangerous no other roundabouts I've ever seen do this, it's asking for trouble.![]()

Strictly speaking traffic should give way to cyclists wishing to cross at exits, if there is nobody behind them so they don't get rear ended. But Very few drivers even if there is nobody behind them do when I do. And I never assume.That is ridiculous.

On smaller roundabouts in particular it can be dangerous. I was looking to my right to ensure no cars were coming, looked down the road to see if exit was clear, as I was watching a pedestrian in my side if the road to see that they weren't planning to cross, a cyclist then came bombing across from the other side and almost hit my car.Strictly speaking traffic should give way to cyclists wishing to cross at exits, if there is nobody behind them so they don't get rear ended.

It's different in the one in the video because they are parallel crossings but at roundabouts.
Yeh would never assume on mini roundabouts - far too short. Most cars drive over the roundabout even though this is illegal,On smaller roundabouts in particular it can be dangerous.

Moped delivery riders. Most only have their CBT and just keep renewing it to do their job.
