I travel across this roundabout away from the M1 junction everyday and I almost get hit every single time, regardless of what lane I drive in. Excluding the completely careless drivers, the road signage are very unclear to most people as to where they should end up on the otherside of the roundabout. There is 3 lanes straight with only 2 lanes and a merger on the other side. The road markings are great, but people rarely see themdue to such high traffic on this roundabout during rushhour.

Most cases, the people in the left lane are completely fine as they stick to lane 1 on exit of the roundabout, lane 2 usually swerve last minute to lane 1 on the other side due to them seeing lane 3 apearing next to them, and lane 3 is just a free for all at any given point.

A lovely aftermath of each occurrence is road rage from multiple people who all equally think they are right in the scenario with very few being correct.

Having to drive here has made me want to get a dashcam as I have lost count how many times I've nearly been hit.

Something needs to change here as there must be hundreds of occurances a day of this and I'm suprised there's not been any bad incidents yet.

Updates

  • I agree this one definitely needs re-thinking, Lane 1 on the roundabout is very narrow so most people approach in Lane 1, use Lane 2 on the roundabout, and exit in Lane 1 and the Lane 3 merge certainly doesn't help when you emerge on the other side

  • Couldn'r agree more , the left hand lane on approach to the roundabout needs to be for going left only , on the roundabout the 1st & 2nd lane need combining so there is only 2 lanes on the roundabout , after the roundabout should be 2 lanes only , get rid of filter lane

  • Sadly, there's still no update on this a year later. Same issues, and same crazy drivers.
