Comment on A roundabout
AA5B@lemmy.world 3 days agoDo the road designers cheap out?
- The few roundabouts a couple decades ago may have been ambiguous but every roundabout I’ve seen for many years is clearly marked on the approach so you can’t screw up the direction.
- I understand someone unfamiliar may stop unexpectedly or not understand how to exit, but how do they screw up the direction?
- Even changing lanes which used to be where people screwed up a lot, recent roundabouts are clearly marked what lane you should be in and the lane markers lead to the exit: how can people not understand signs saying this lane for this road?
If your road designers aren’t following these conventions, that may be a contributing factor

I regularly take a busy road with a two-lane roundabout marked this way and you can be sure that people will ignore these lane markers. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t seen a fender bender there before.
