 Bothwell Gardens Roundabout shenanigans
Topic Originator: Milos Drizzle  
Date:   Mon 17 Jun 10:34

Wondering if anyone has experienced this today (Monday)? Looked fun yesterday, but I was putting that down to initial setup and teething problems. Maybe the 4-way lights are working beautifully now and keeping everyone moving…

What exactly is the set up? If they`ve put lights on each entry to the roundabout then surely it`ll be indicative of what it`ll be like when the real lights are in? I`m not a transport engineer (clearly!) but how hard is it to chuck in some lights? Though how does it even work on such a small roundabout? Stop more than a handful of cars at lights and you block the roundabout.

During the works I believe it is 4-way. So, one entrance green at any one time, hence carnage (presumably) for the next 5 months. I’m sure there will be some optimal snazzy sequence in operation after go-live.

Edited to add that I agree… not sure how it can work effectively on such a small roundabout.

Who`s bright idea was this ?
I see no need to change that roundabout.
I`ve never had a problem with it anyway.

It`s in preparation for an estimated increase in traffic volumes due to house building. For once the council getting infrastructure in place before it`s a problem.

Should also be pointed out that it is being paid for by housing developers, not the Council.

What I find odd is that the new western road from the King Malcolm looks like it connects to the Coal Road! If ever there was a disaster waiting to happen!

I know, I`ve double checked and it`s definitely 2024 Scotland, not 1824 Ireland.
