Default Unique pedestrian crossing in Burnt Oak

The most controversial junction "improvement" being researched was
the idea of putting bike lanes round the edge of roundabouts. That's
an obvious (to me) killer. If you are ever riding a bike round a
roundabout, stay as far away from the bike lanes as possible.


This is used in residential areas in Holland, there is a kerb at the outer
edge of the round-about, and then outside this is the bike lane, and the
bikes have right of way over approaching vehicles on the roads. It's caught
me out a few times, as a driver, but seems to work once you get used to it.
