What a terrible design.

I, to the contrary, believe it is fantastic.

You might need to pass a road test to be able to run along.

It’s actually great. You’re just a shiet driver

No but this is actually great tho.

You think it is? Studying the movement critically, I think there’s a better way to design that roundabout.

I do. I'm in the UK and there's a whole heap of different roundabout designs here and this is definitely one of the better ones I've seen. It's clearly sets apart the different lanes without disruption to oncoming traffic which would otherwise add to congestion at the roundabouts entrance. I can't count how many times I've wanted to go straight over a roundabout but the people going either way won't let you in because it's congested and they think you're going to cut them up somehow. On top of this, people in the UK have little to no lane control when it comes to roundabouts in general. Having the wider, clearer lane dividers would be helpful (if not to contain the people without lane control, then to allow more space between them and others with lane control haha) Even if there is a "better way to design that roundabout", what I said is that I think this particular roundabout design is good.

I perfectly get your notion.. my pov is based on the fact that cars coming towards the roundabout had to weight before they could access, and such act could cause an unexpected mishap. I presuppose having a traffic light solves the impending sudden event resulting to a damage or an injury.

@MimiMapleVT Roundabouts improve traffic flow. In most countries people follow the highway rules….

@Layemie001 You haven't seen Milton Keynes at rush hour dude

What's wrong with it?

@jyjc_ Confusing…

The best thing, in the Netherlands is that we have 442 of them—a lot for such a small country! We call them Turbo roundabouts. Wait times are minimal compared to slow traffic lights, and if an accident does happen, it causes far less damage

That´s a pretty great design. And it also looks good. I guess you hardly drive any roundabouts?

Only people who live in places that don't have roundabouts, or has no people that understands them, would say this.

Kinda a good design actually would stop people that are shite at driving going into the wrong lane when exiting but someone will f it up somehow almost idiot proof

Looks like heavy traffic flows from one side to the other, so they built a special road to keep cars moving without stopping. From the top (2D view) it can seem a bit confusing, but in 3D there’s nothing hard to understand if you’re already following roundabout rules. This is basically a T-intersection template applied to a roundabout. With no exit on one side, they’re using the lane reserved for the first exit as a direct path straight across to the other side.

I strongly disagree with you.

The problem with all traffic circles is it assumes people know where they are going. And will get in the proper line in time. In reality most people are being told by God. take 3rd exit Which means now they're counting how many entrances and exits they've pass. Just to turn left.

It's not what it seems; these types of roundabouts actually help traffic flow better. They're in the Netherlands and are starting to appear in the US.

In The Netherlands we are used to these roundabouts. They speed up the usage of the roundabout and rarely cause trouble. Not even with foreigners.

As much capacity as a 2 lane roundabout with less conflict points. They are perfect when you have drivers who actualy know how to drive.

We have this a lot in our country, it works like a charm. It's incredible.

Much more effective and safer than Trafic lights. Of course poorly educated drivers are a problem but tests to get drivers license are good in developed nations...you must be from developing nation

It’s actually great Only slow people have a problem with it

If you have ever tried a real roundabout you would know that this desing is actually very, very good. And yes, roundabouts are much better than traffic lights

Was it designed by Vodafone?

It actually makes it easier for the absolute arseholes who dont know how to use a normal roundabout and there are many of them.

this looks confusing from above so actually driving in it at real time would be a knightmare

Absolutely confusing.. probably there’s a manual to using the road🤷🏼

@SMARTEDGET00LS Confusing? In Europe children understand this

@Layemie001 what country is this in? ive not seen this set up

In the Netherlands we call this a Turbo Rotonde, it’s much faster than traffic lights and a normal Roundabout. When u are use to it.

It's what we call a turbo-roundabout. The Netherlands have them everywhere. The only drawback is that you should know in front where you want to go, right/straight or straight/left. But if you want to turn left or go straight you almost never have to wait for traffic to pass.

Great design. U gotta be a moron to not know how to use it

Takes the concept of roundabout and makes it so, so much worse.

Correct. The bike lane is missing.

That's actually really good. Roundabouts are already really good, this one is just an improvement.

It’s completely understandable.

It's very good actually!

Of course you don't understand this uses inspiration from fluid dynamics to gently and passively encourage drivers to slow to a uniform speed at a highway interchange to not need trafgic lights and make driving safer and more efficient. I don't even drive and I can see that🤦‍♂️

If it works it works🤷‍♂️

Perfectly designed. The only flaw: the users! Like you, who never had a proper education on driving and the safety around the traffic system.

You crazy

🖕

Go see a doctor.
