The lady on Tom Tom GPS (for those of you who don't have it) really indicates the difference between Australian authorities' thinking on roundabouts and the European way (the way it should be).
She doesn't say "turn right at the roundabout" because that would be rather confusing to many. She says "at the roundabout use the third [or whatever] exit". That's the point Streets was making, because a roundabout is not a conventional intersection. It's a circular "main" road with side streets off it. It doesn't matter if those side streets are the Princes Highway or a cul-de-sac, they all have equal subordinate status to a roundabout. Unfortunately the authorities here have encouraged people to think that if they're going along the Princes Highway ("straight ahead") they can go through the roundabout like Captain Thunderbolt and none of the other streets have any rights in the equation. A good traffic management concept comprehensively stuffed by dumb public servants. |
