No one vehicle or pedestrian has priority over anyone else. It’s basic enough. Whats difficult about it? 😂 I meant to say you are NOT pulling out in front of traffic from the right. So it makes zero difference to how you handle the situation. Like any roundabout really. Hysterical. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would at Quarterbridge. The Manx roads are full of vegetables that can't drive properly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only going to be open to traffic going north on the prom filtering to the left. Traffic is still going to be using the walkway until the carriageways are linked up. That’s expected for 15/7. The roadways north or south aren’t actually connected to the ellipsabout 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itsmeee Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 There are at present no recognised legal road markings there. So either it’s not finished, in which case it shouldn’t be open, or as the copper we spoke to yesterday said, you’d better make damn sure you’ve got a dash-cam so you can prove what went wrong when it does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've seen similar in Oxford, but there, the local view is go for it and hope nobody steps out. That's the idea of them. Create uncertainty.

Before that pen it properly they had better tell people "if" it is a roundabout, or how we use it. I don't believe it is intended to be a roundabout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should ride a motorbike because when you do you realise the amount of vegetables on the road. In some sort of trance or semi comatose state. Actually making people think might not be a bad idea.
