Mini roundabout - over or round?
Posted: Thu Jul 07, 2011 5:00 pm
I use this mini roundabout regularly proceeding from the right, Dunstable, direction to the top left towards Totternhoe. The circle is just paint, it is not raised.
I've been taught by advanced driving observers that I should go round the white circle, but surely on this one the path round the circle is so 'extreme' that there would be a significant risk of drivers from the left misinterpreting my intention despite me indicating. You can seen from the black rubber marks on Google view that most drivers go over.
BTW, on the approach from the right there are no mini-roundabout signs!
