Roundaslice
I thought it was AI slop, wow.
I figured it was designed that way so people don’t make that specific turn, meaning it wasn’t actually intended to be a full roundabout. But instead of bothering to pay for any sort of infrastructure in the middle to physically prevent it, they thought painting lines would be enough.
There’s no vertical sign forbidding a right turn tho
I didn’t even think about it that much.
They obviously didn’t either.
I assumed British, so we weren’t too far apart.
- Take a 4 way intersection
- Draw a shape in the middle of it
- Remove all signs and signals
- ???
- Roundabout
Reduced-conflict intersection? How about an increased-conflict intersection?
Honestly, at this point just plonk down a few traffic lights and pretend it’s a normal intersection. At least assuming that center piece isn’t elevated.
Judging by the way the cars drive over it I don’t think it is raised. There are probably hundreds or thousands of intersections like this around the country no one has ever though to add a diamond shaped roundabout to. Apparently the image below is a shot of the intersection before the diamondabout was added:
They ruined a passable intersection to put that monstrosity in.

Whoever designed that intersection needs to be sacked.
In jail.
Also everyone who approved it.
Unless no such laws exist in the lawless country this is from.
It looks like a bugged out out roundabout in cities skylines. Maybe that’s how they designed it.
Someone had a bit too much fun with the anarchy and move it mods.
roundabit
Was it a collaboration between Renault and gynaecologists?

For people who drive like a cunt
It looks like it’s only the Ferd Fteenthousand having trouble. I’m down for road infrastructure being hostile toward oversized vehicles.
As a cyclist, I would be terrified of using that thing. Most car drivers can’t even handle a conventional roundabout and routinely cut off cyclists being there with them. This one would be like 10 seconds in hell with cars coming from every angle.
The main problem is the two power poles constraining the space, and the lack of council space from property boundaries.
But a peanut shape will fix it. 90 seconds in MS paint. Civil engineering degree plz.
There’s a similarly weird roundabout near me, we call the peanut, or the bean, and it works fine.
It’s just like a regular roundabout undergoing mitosis
