There isn’t an actual road marking in sight 😂 They're no more road markings than the streaks of smeared horse shit along the rest of the Prom.

Ie, how long will we be waiting? Lots of moaning about nothing even though idiots still insist on using them like roundabouts. You're a bit late to the party. There's already been an ambulance complete with attendant police, scooped one bloke off the Broadway crossing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s an unmarked junction as explained by the police and as is obvious from the fact that there are no legal road markings. The point is there were meant to be loads of crashes when they opened. Apart from one blind motorcyclist in TT, I am not aware of any Pretty sure it was the police that said to treat them as a normal roundabout! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asthehills Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Here is another one ”give way to other road users”. That means anyone from any direction, so they absolutely are not roundabouts. It is a shame they don’t push this message out a bit more so people learn, and then extend the concept to other junctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are missing the point. No one has right of way. It's supposed to be a sort of chaos theory just like when pedestrians meet in a busy street.

Surely everyone giving way to everyone else and no one giving way to anyone else have pretty much the same end result? Slow down. Accept nobody has priority over anyone else and just drive sensibly. Unfortunately 90 percent of people just drive through and assume they can go ahead of others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all one big Douglas Promenade scheme. So all part of the same system. And there are 4 or 5 different crossings in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
