QUOTE (Andy Capp @ Jul 23 2015, 09:17 AM)  It's the roundabout that is the problem: there's not enough braking distance. One hopes that a 120mph car will have 120mph brakes. |

To be fair though, most people only go up the link to the bridge and then brake (a good 400m or so) or from the Top roundabout down to the bridge (again about 400m) and most people slow down with plenty of time. -------------------- :p
