Friday afternoon at 4.15pm and no queues in any direction!
Common sense has broken out – simple is best!
Some advantages:
1. Much lower installation and maintenance costs compared with traffic signals
2. Less pollution as fewer vehicles waiting in queues
3. Roundabouts cope better with changing demand – unlike most traffic signals
4. Less street furniture clutter

This is only experimental apparently, and Ealing Council want to hear comments from road users:
