0 a small, flat roundabout (= a place where three or more roads join and traffic must go around a circular area in the middle, rather than straight across) that is shown only by marks on the road, and that it is possible to drive over if necessary: --
Mini-roundabouts have been a tremendous success.
Our divisional road engineers have already been asked to consult with local authorities and to select sites at which mini-roundabouts and other new forms of junction can be tried out.
There are mini-roundabouts, maxi-roundabouts, road widening schemes and road narrowing schemes.
It is too soon after the introduction of mini-roundabouts to publish any reliable statistical evidence on the relative safety of these roundabouts.
The changes adopted included a combination of mini-roundabouts, banned turns, closure of some roads, speed bumps, road narrowing and special parking arrangements.
Of course, we know that a motorist must give way to the right at roundabouts and mini-roundabouts.
That is one of the reasons why we have sought, in the right places, to extend the use of mini-roundabouts.
A £300,000-a-year programme to replace existing street lighting will be combined with improvements to footpaths, shopping parades and mini-roundabouts.
