The Roundabout

Unlike fascist, robotic traffic lights where we are told when to stop and go, the roundabout allows us to show one another our very own British driving decorum. We approach the island at our own chosen speed in the lane of our choice. Co-operating and queueing accordingly with our fellow drivers we wait for a gap and join the gentle gyratory flow in our own time, signalling our intentions and leaving at our chosen exit. Never is a road system better suited to the British consciousness than one that involves a set of rules and guidelines that harbours a carefully balanced system that relies on etiquette and protocol.
