After all, different road situations take some time to get used to. <br />In any case, when it gets implemented at Lambeth, it would be wise to set up a sign warning drivers: "Caution! Slow roundabout ahead."<br />Just for the first year or so, because the roundabout cannot be taken at "normal" speeds. Most driving is done by following expectations and visual stimuli, I think.Koenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409336272282919407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-568852931152106119.post-73060596701063669562013-01-13T08:47:26.200-08:002013-01-13T08:47:26.200-08:00It must be that although the junction is TfL's...It must be that although the junction is TfL's, I think 2 of the approach roads are Westminster's. Where there is a scheme which alters a junction like this and it 'affects' an adjacent highway authority, their views legally count.<br /><br />I don't think there is a 'Dutch' style roundabout in the UK and to go to the investment of an off-street trial, I think TfL is serious about getting it right. If just a junction was opened and a cyclist was killed (aside from the tragedy) it would stop innovation in its tracks. I for one am happy for TfL to get it right - it will help the rest of us engineers push similar...The Ranty Highwaymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361350433158148025noreply@blogger.com
