Roundabouts

[stillp]

But there are 'give way' lines across the end of the dual carriageway. Those lines you're referring to are just 'keep in lane' markings.

I am constantly amazed at the amount of two way one lane roads on your islands and in Europe generally. You probably do call them lanes. I'll not soon forget our on board navigation system put us on a dirt path ( two tire paths separated by wild grasses) alongside a fence line through a farmers' meadow to get to the Bastogne museum area.

Aaahhhh! zat is ze French way of doing satnav, you should have been driving in reverse instead of forwards....

Similar one in Hemel hempstead

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Roundabout_(Hemel_Hempstead)

features on driving tests in the local area

Been around that one a few times from the M1 and going to Bourne End.

I would imagine that will soon feature in American crash videos on Youtube. :smiling5:

Karens demanding they are right and everyone else is driving the wrong way......:tears-of-joy:

There are also lines where the right part of the roundabout connects to the dual carriageway. It looks to me like there are too many lines, which will cause even more confusion than these things usually do in America

you pay £12.50 every time you use your car inside the zone.

£12.50 a lot cheaper than most other low-emission zones in Europe, where you don’t get charged to use it, but fined if you go inside it in a vehicle considered too polluting. For example:

€80 fine in Germany for entering a low-emission zone in a vehicle not approved for it.

.......and then you put into the mix children walking to school in this established city neighborhood. A real recipe for disaster.

I work in Hemel and have to deal with the Magic Roundabout (actally called the Plough roundabout) daily. It works fine until you get someone who doesn't understand how it works, then all hell breaks loose.
