That is because a large number of drivers approaching the roundabout from Stanhill way don't even look up New Lane. Like I say I use New Lane for work 6 days a week and have almost been hit coming down New Lane onto the roundabout several times. Brian's silly roundabout is a good idea, it's the drivers who don't know how to use it that cause the problems.

Will agree with you there, another problem is that some drivers forget they have indicators, so sometimes if you are at the bottom of new lane waiting to turn right, you don't know if a car coming up union road is going to turn up new lane or go straight on, some do turn at the last minute with no indication that they are turning up new lane, leaving you a bit miffed at missing the chance to go.

One of my pet hates is drivers that don't know they have indicators, or what they are for. With some many mini roundabouts it's imperative people use them, and that people should be aware that you do still have to give way to cars from the right.

Perhaps they should start doing public information films on tv again like they diid in the 70's.

Looking at most of your posts on accyweb Garinda yes I agree the way you go is special (to you), but secret? No way, I don't think you could keep it secret!

Think you could be right there

There is no think about it. What makes these cllr's expert on planning issues anyway. Obviously he has no sense about safe parking or he would not park onthe footpath on a bend. He must not care about his voters who have a pram and a small child's hand to hold while trying to get past his big numb Shogun.
