Roundabout changes

Roundabout changes

Postby nigieboy » Mon Apr 24, 2023 7:16 pm

Anyone else noticed the roundabouts from Rojales to La Marina are having work done to limit the road surface It seems they are concreting the inner road which means no more cars cutting in front of you...Got to be good ,yes?

Well I could have thought of better ways to spend the money. Didn’t realise it was a problem and never seen any accidents around these roundabouts.

Yes I've noticed these, a good idea in my opinion.

The roundabouts are quite small and relatively quiet. There's probably no need to overtake on these roundabouts and this will, hopefully, prevent a few accidents from people cutting in too early to make the turn.

Yes, I think it is a great idea to stop being carved up by aggressive idiots

Making all roundabouts in Spain a single lane is a good idea,much safer ,because mainly visitors ,still believe they are in their own country and don’t realise that roundabout use is different in Spain .
It won’t add a lot of time to one’s journey ,so great !

In my opinion this is a great idea ..we live by these said roundabouts...Everybody seems to have different ideas on using roundabouts..we have experienced more than once careless drivers cutting across us on a roundbout..Think about the amount of glass that you see at roundabouts which shows that cars are colliding through the cutting up / lane selection..Take the roundabout coming from Quesada to the Mercadona...2 lanes both with arrow pointing forward..again coming round on the outside lane to go to Benijofar (Which police videaos show to be correct) the number of times we have witnessed people being cut up from the other lane..Simple answer there again in my opinion is to have the one arrow for going to Benijofar the other arrow pointing right to Mercadona..As a Spanish friend told us if the driving instructors tell students different things on how to use a roundabout then collisions are inevetable..For us if it slows down the idiots from cutting up which has to be all well & good..No we are not holiday makers & have lived here several years

I would have thought that was obvious
One to carry straight on and one to turn left or go round
