QUOTE (scott @ Jun 29 2009, 04:58 PM) If people got in the correct lanes to start with, there would be little need to indicate. The roundabout at tesco is perfect, the ammount of people coming from greenham who are in the left lane, yet drive towards the retail park is unbelievable. I understand that there is nothing wrong with doing that if your path is clear. I think the left hand lane is the normal lane to use if going straight on.

There is only 1 approach lane in all directions save for that from Bury's Bank Road at this roundabout. And, if there are no markings on the approach you can use the L lane for straight ahead.

QUOTE (scott @ Jun 30 2009, 12:08 PM) LOL by looking at that, i would estimate that was taken late 2006, early 2007. but it is an accurate one of the said roundabout... What is interesting, note the grey tyre marks on the roundabout, it seems to suggest that the left hand lane is the most commonly used to go straight ahead.

Exactly my gripe! it makes it A. hard to pull out of tesco going right, and B. makes it difficult filtering coming from greenham..

Perhaps there should be a left only arrow on the road. I wonder why there isn't. Like I said, the left hand lane is normally for left turns or straight ahead. Right hand lanes are normally for right turns.
