Mirror Mirror on the roundabout....

Would a mirror on the Focus roundabout pointing up the road, giving you advanced warning of cars and their speed make the roundabout safer?

ROUNDABOUT

Submitted by bj-dj on Sun, 2008/12/14 - 15:32.

Wave What we need is a speed hump sited just before the roundabout on Reginald Mitchel Way forcing cars to slow right down. What drivers tend to do as they are approaching the roundabout on Reginald Mitchel Way is concentrate on traffic coming from the right if there way is clear they fail to slow down as the turning on to the estate is blind to them.

Hi bj. I'd use the word

Hi bj. I'd use the word "concentrating" very loosely. Maybe that should be "most drivers 'sometimes glance' at the traffic from the right.

Good suggestion though. Do you think those raised speed strips might work, or even a sign that says caution, concealed exit.

speed cameras is the only solution that will slow them down to 30mph at approach to rouderbout, somebody will be seriousley hurt or killed one day, you see...i hear let alone see numerous drivers and riders speeding purposely up and down reginald mitchell way, once this year i have seen speed cameras and police...!!!! little faith in them, not enough of them about on the streets....

Having a Laugh

Just read the comments regarding the safety concerns regarding the roundabout, and speeding cars and noticed that this web site is allowing adverts to encourage dangerous driving (PhotoBlocker Spray £14.99)and advice on how to get out of paying speeding fines. Make your mind up do you want safe roads or just race tracks. Angry

Well Spotted bj-dj

Had not seen the photo blocker on our adverts but very well spotted. However I will not discourage idiot drivers from buying it !!!!! It does not work. So let the fool and his money be parted and may he/she get nicked in ignorant bliss.

Ads on Site

Submitted by Web Monkey on Wed, 2008/12/31 - 23:34.

Hi BJ

Sorry about the Adverts, but when you put google ad sense onto your site, it's quite open as to what it displays. Contextual ads (i.e it knows the content of the page and shows appropriate advertising) from google is a good way to raise funds to keep this site alive.

Basically, if no ads are clicked on this site then sadly there is no funding for the site to continue in the future.

So if you see an advert you don't like, don't click it. But if you do, just by clicking one of the links, you can help to contribute.
