[Closed] Does a roundabout need this many posts ?

is that in nailsea?

Clacton on Sea

close!

Near enough 😉

I'm sorry but I need to know what the sign on the other side says

OK - I know it says happy 40th Steve but ......

I'm guessing that is a 4 way junction. So one sign for each line of approaching traffic would require 4 signs. There are 4 signs each with a post...so that's ok. I would probably get rid of the white chevrons though.....that would require 4 less posts. So no, I reckon the roundabout needs 50% less posts.

It definitely needs more balloons though.

I like the pattern of bricks at the base, indicating direction. I think that's a nice touch.

Elfinsafety...if you like that, I give you http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=poole&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=14.641113,39.506836&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Poole,+United+Kingdom&ll=50.735912,-1.995006&spn=0.0154,0.038581&z=15&layer=c&cbll=50.73588,-1.994813&panoid=VyhvKaKsmmI5-t6mXT7M6w&cbp=12,35.76,,0,7.5

Lots of chevrons, plus a boat has got lost in the middle 🙂

this'll confuse the buggers:

bollocks Stoner, I was just about to look for a pic of that.

My favourite roundabouts are the ones where mini roundabouts have replaced x-roads and T junctions.

You get half way round making a U-turn round one, and find out that the roundabout is considerably smaller than the turning circle of your car 😆

Don't worry a HGV will be along soon and it out 😉

Stoner, isn't it for the benefit of half-wits racing soupped-up cars in the area?

if that was in swindon they'd be continually digging them up to move them a couple of inches to the left at great expense to the tax payer with no plausible explanation

Here's a useful guide for all your spotters out there:

(Yes it's a real book, someone's actually got one in my office)

I think this one has more signs:

Cardiff's very own magic roundabout.

Spooky B329; I like that. The little boat's a nice touch.

The 'traffic light' Stoner's pic shows is a sculpture which was originally intended to only be in place over the Christmas period several years ago. It proved so popular that it was left in place.

I like it.

Can't believe no-one's mentioned the Magic Roundabout in Swindon yet. Shame on you Nutt.

This is the other end of the scale.... "shared space" in Woking - no markings, all on the one level....total chaos or perfect harmony??

Up here in Scotland roundabouts tend to be named.

At first I found this quite strange when I moved up here from down south, but now I actually find it quite handy for giving people directions.

It looks to be about 2.6m diameter which makes it a mini roundabout so it does look like they're over egged the pudding somewhat. I'd argue that it shouldn't even have a raised kerb edging.

Roundabouts are named all over. Big ones at least. I seem to remember Wobbly Wheel and a Box Heater somewhere - Devon perhaps?
