Is it just me, or do Mini Roundabouts NOT work??
Discussion
I like big normal roundabouts, they make traffic flow smoother and are fun when they are empty, but I think mini roundabouts just dont work, heres why:
1 The majority of people cut them (assuming they are big enough to get a car round) which has caused alot of close calls, or congestion because people cant get through while they wait for the traffic to clear.
2 if one person is turning right you end up with everyone stopping then all deciding to go then stopping etc until either a collision occours or someone gets away quicker than the other two
3 Some people dont even realise they are there and drive straight over them and collide with you as you try to turn right (unless you do an emergency stop!)
4 After 6 months the paint has worn away so you cant see them
And thats before I start with the drug induced comatosed idiot that came up with the double mini roundabout!!!
Interested to hear peoples opinions on this....
