Mini Roundabouts

[sospan]

We have had a huge increase in numbers these in our area over the last year or 2
They now occupy what use to be proper junctions
There is one in particular that makes me gasp almost everytime i use it.
Traffic from one of the 4 directions onto it nearly always ignore it completely and simply arrive at it at far too great a speed
It actually forms a slight blockage to the straight through route for this direction so they just drive straight through at the maximum possible speed of 30 mph(or thereabouts as i dont have a seed gun just an estimate).
Whenever i look at the drivers faces thet all seem to be looking straight ahead and ignoring left/right.
I dont know how there havent been rtc's there more often.
I think this is due to other drivers being vigilant and defensive.
Many of the others just seem to act as traffic hindrances.
Bring back more junctions- clear rights of way and no ambiguity - even though the give way to traffic from right should apply.

yep. In theory mini round-a-bout make sense but you are right the are hopeless in most cases. We have the same thing. Spot on.

[Flat in Fifth]

again spot on.

Mundano driver today outside Sainsbo's utterly blatting it. I guess at 15-20 over permitted limit even. He didn't even see the fully liveried V70 which had clocked him way back.

I suspect words were spoken into his shell like.
