There are two concentric lanes around the roundabout and too often vehicles intending to travel up Trimingham Hill cut into the lane reserved for vehicles continuing around to exit onto The Lane (which I believe is the correct name for what is termed Harbour Rd in this discussion). It doesn't seem to matter whether there is a vehicle occupying that inner lane, since I have had to jam on my brakes on many occasions in order to avoid having my passenger side doors dented in. <BR/><BR/>Bermudians are generally very bad drivers, and drive in a manner that would get many more of them killed any where else. I think the low speed limit tempers the number of road fatalities. If drivers in NA were to run red lights and stop signs with the same ignorance as they do here, they would get killed off quite quickly!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236224.post-14501846973444653292008-12-05T11:13:00.000-04:002008-12-05T11:13:00.000-04:00True, so let me confirm that this situation was in...True, so let me confirm that this situation was indeed during morning rush hour. You are absolutely right, at all other times traffic must give way to other vehicles on the roundabout.

At all other times, the junction is to be treated as any other roundabout.<BR/><BR/>As for people not reading signs, just add this one to the list, like STOP, KEEP CLEAR, NO PARKING, and others that seem to escape recognition by what passes for drivers locally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236224.post-9495653110300646252008-12-04T12:14:00.000-04:002008-12-04T12:14:00.000-04:00True that.

If I recall correctly, the colour of the lines mark out which direction traffic is supposed to flow during regular hours (it's white on one side, yellow on the other).Tryanglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03505340710195129202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8236224.post-54101735612599732582008-12-04T12:07:00.000-04:002008-12-04T12:07:00.000-04:00What is even worse and I have seen it twice in the...What is even worse and I have seen it twice in the last couple of months is cars taken the middle lane on east broadway when it is meant to be going the other way!!<BR/><BR/>Once I had to jump into the other lane to avoid hitting a car head on! <BR/><BR/>A five when the middle lane is packed it isn't a problem but around 6:15 traffic in the middle lane is pretty light and cars coming into town forget that lane isn't for them. There is going to be a huge accident soon!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
