Comment on Is This 'Magic' Roundabout Made of 5 Mini-Roundabouts?parent

Large busy overhead signs are not as helpful as simple arrows at each opportunity to turn. Maybe arrows on the pavement, just in front of the turn.

Our first roundabout around here had 13 (thirteen!) signs just before you entered, including a map. Disaster. Folks just want to know, which is the left-turn lane etc.

Btw is that the right link? It looks like an ordinary roundabout with right-turn ramps.

The link is correct.

The simple arrows you prefer are there as well. But the overhead signs are important when there is a lot of traffic as you will see the road markings too late.

You have to look at the satellite image to see the unusual (around here) parts: Traffic lights, stopping lines inside the roundabout and the left turn lane within.
