Strandhill Roundabout at Burma Road, Top Road junction
February 27, 2007 | 1 Comment
A crash on the Burma Road/Top Road roundabout junction at the beginning of February, may have been a telling factor in the relalignment of lines and marking that happened last week. Rumble strips are now in place – in my mind though, the Yield/Roundabout signs (particuarly coming into the village from town) – are just not visible enough.
Given the way that people seem to negotiate the junction, it’s a little surprising that there have not been more incidents. To that end, it’s useful to consider the advice given on the Road Safety Authority website on negotiating roundabouts – the download is here.
From experience negotiating it on a day to day basis – the following points are the ones that people should take heed of
- Vehicles which are negotiating a roundabout have right of way over those approaching.
- Those entering the roundabout must give way to vehicles coming from the right
- If the roundabout is clear and free of traffic, the driver should enter without stopping.
 Pay attention people……
