Do you mean the island around which the carriageway of the roundabout is arranged? If that wasn't there, the junction wouldn't be a roundabout. It would be a free for all "plaza" (or pair of them). |

The advance phase traffic lights, however, would be a welcome innovation for London. On the A20 in Lewisham there are dedicated bus lane lights; they are only green when the main lane is red. Bus drivers and cyclists have a choice: use the bus lane or the main lane. The system works well and is perfectly safe as far as I can tell. |

While perhaps not safer, I feel that TfL's plans for Bow are somewhat more useful than LCC's concept: http://lcc.org.uk/articles/lcc-publi...afety-failures Al that mounting of footways and pressing buttons looks a nightmare, especially if turning right. |

Do you mean the island around which the carriageway of the roundabout is arranged? If that wasn't there, the junction wouldn't be a roundabout. It would be a free for all "plaza" (or pair of them). Hey look... TfL are using the word "filter". I wonder what that word could mean, as I am so think that I cannot work it out from the context. Maybe I should email Bojo and see if he knows. =====Quote===== Additional dedicated cycle lanes on the east and westbound approaches of the roundabout, allowing cyclists to approach the advance stop lines at the junctions without the need to filter through traffic. Advanced stop lines would also be made deeper on both approaches to the roundabout, so there's a clear space for cyclists in front of any traffic. =====/Quote===== From: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/proj...mes/22247.aspx |
