“It has been dubbed Britain’s ‘most woke’ roundabout because drivers must give priority to pedestrians, then cyclists, and then other cars and lorries before continuing on themselves. Locals have pointed out the priority for cyclists and pedestrians is unnecessary as only cars and lorries regularly use the Boundary Way route.”

    Just copy Dutch roundabout design, they work great for both car drivers as well as other road users. Not complicated at all when copied properly.

      We have plenty of variants of roundabouts here too. Many would work far better. They just seem to have combined 3 good elements in a way that they all disrupt each other in practice.

      Cars need to watch for cyclists doing an unusual manoeuvre., as well as other cars reacting abruptly and unpredictability.

      Cyclists can’t trust their right of way due to idiot drivers.

      Pedestrians will get lost behind the clutter of the cycle path and are at risk of being run down.
