If I'm one of those cars, then it's me who has right of way.....but then again I am a BMW wanker, so I don't need to indicate and always have right of way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a CAD design not a proper photograph. Although when I lived there, it did get lots of wankers attending just to see it (fucking sad twats).

Nobody. By the letter of the highway code everyone has to give way to the cars on the right (or one already on the roundabout). However, all three would have to arrive at the exact same time. Otherwise you give way to the right and the car that arrives first enters first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon if Bolton Highways introduced a roundabout system where five mini-roundabouts fed into a central contraflow roundabout, I'd be going for a quick recce before risking my car.

Hadn't noticed the 'smash' possibilities mate! Just watched it again for that very purpose. First time around I was glued to watching the pedestrians. FFS, talk about a death wish!

Site Supporter MickyD Posted February 5, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2019 I just don't get the advantage of that over a big single roundabout. Looks to me as though you'd be stop-go all the way round if you took the fourth exit from any starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 5, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) I would assume if one of your former colleagues appeared in a big red machine with the blues ablaze, then it could also add to the confusion. One big roundabout makes more sense. Edited February 5, 2019 by Tonge moor green jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted February 5, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted February 5, 2019 Blue lights cause confusion amongst about 30 - 40% of drivers whatever the road layout. You certainly wouldn't need 5 mini-roundabouts to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4th exit from any starting point is closer than a normal roundabout as you don’t have to go all the way around, but the 3 rd exit from any starting point is no adavantage apart from splitting the traffic flow but there’d be an awful lot of stop go as you say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
