There's a mini-roundabout I tackle nearly every day.
It may make sense if you are coming from some of the directions - but not from the way I am coming from. The car in front will now demonstrate the way sensible people (like me) tackle it:
Maybe if I had a smaller car I could do this instead:
Meanwhile, there is a busy stretch of dual carriageway not too far from where I live that used to be National Speed limit. Which meant that you could drive at 70mph on it:
OK, not a particularly exciting video that one - and it doesn't look much like a 70-zone does it? That is because, several years ago, it was deemed unsafe for 70 due to not having a central reservation with barriers. So it became a 40-zone. Then, last year, big roadworks appeared! Did that mean that they were going to install a central barrier to help relieve the congestion that appears there every rush-hour?
Nope.
You've seen the footage - they made it worse by turning one lane in each direction into a cycle lane.
It will be chaotic if someone breaks down there - and emergency vehicles are definitely going to get held up.
The only motorised vehicles that can get in there are underneath impatient motorcyclists:
