Have any of you wondered why there are signals at roundabouts? I don't think it serves any purpose other than confusing the motorists.... what do u think??????????

Do they still have the signs at roundabouts showing which lanes cars should be in?

They used different coloured cars on the signs and one belief was that cars of the colour used on the signs had to go in the direction indicated on the sign.

Approaching the roundabout near the museum from the RAA flyover also had one of these signs indicating that cars could turn right..... into the sea?

I prefer traffic signals instead of no signals , Bad drivers of land cruisers making third lanes, or forcing themselves into your lane and trying to judge when is my turn to get into the roundabout.....AT least I know when is green light for me.

prefer signal than roundabout, or signal in the roundabout.

Trying to pull out in the roundabout just like gamble with russian roullete. God knows what these cars in the left and right hand lane would do.

Those who have been here long enough understands why we need signals at the roundabouts. It's much better anyway than waiting for half an hour before you get a chance to pass.

It's a temporary solution anyway. Those roundabouts will be changed to signals in months.

i think people are relieved than being confused after the installation of signals at the roundabout.

Could it be that there is no trust in the drivers?

I bet you still check that the road is clear before you venture onto the roundabout
