The UK’s first Dutch-style roundabout is open in Cambridge.
How the roundabout works
We have produced a video to explain how the new roundabout works for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
Please watch in YouTube for more accessibility options. - opens in a new tab
Features of the roundabout
- The roundabout has an outer ring for cyclists, in a contrasting red surface, to give them equal priority with pedestrians over oncoming vehicles.
- We have installed parallel crossings on each of the four arms of the roundabout. These zebra crossings also extend over the cycle lanes so pedestrians have priority over cyclists as well as motor vehicles.
- The roundabout is designed to encourage motorists to drive at a slower speed, with a central over-run area allowing larger vehicles to manoeuvre around the roundabout.
