Roundabouts

[denis567]

What is the point of that type of roundabout (usually mini roundabouts) where the section that you would normally take up to turn right, is marked off with a red surface, stopping you from taking up the right hand lane.

It helps the traffic flow ( Thats what they think)

[denis567]

I cannot see the logic of that. It forces you to keep in the left lane, thus slowing down traffic in that lane

When local authorities are planning roundabouts, traffic lights, vehicle flow etc., logic goes out the window. I think they employ numpties for this purpose. JD

Thanks TWR and jd. I think your comments are spot on. I was fully expecting an answer from someone at planning departments but there has been a deafening silence,
