A built up roundabout, with no visibility of the other side is completely against that idea. When you approach one of these, you have to slow right down, because a car or a bike going round it will usually pop into view at the last second, especially if they are travelling at speed.
In contrast, if you could observe traffic actually on the roundabout and approaching it from all sides, you would be in a far better position to adjust your speed to the correct degree to negotiate it safely.
They’re busy planting trees and shrubs on many roundabouts at the moment, no doubt in preparation for spring and summer. It’s such a shame that they haven’t considered the safety ramifications of all this.
