- meowster 2y agoI imagine you're referring to a simple line drawing (with labels)?
- dave333 2y agoFor example - Britain's most notorious roundabout https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5622263,-1.7713205,3a,48.7y,332.14h,96.43t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s6zJURGdk-dyrucuw28391g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m2!1e2!1e4?hl=en&coh=205409&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDkyOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D https://www.google.com/maps/@51.5622263,-1.7713205,3a,48.7y,...
- StuPC2000 2y agoI grew up in this town, and even had to navigate this Magic Roundabout on my driving test. It's not so bad once you understand how it operates, but you have to pay attention.
- esskay 2y agoSimilar with Hemel's: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.7458345,-0.4742799,3a,75y,21.28h,79.17t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sHkT805WwSU3eAME_FVgF7Q!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!5m2!1e4!1e2?hl=en&coh=205409&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAwMi4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D https://www.google.com/maps/@51.7458345,-0.4742799,3a,75y,21... The map/diagram helps people not familar, the only really complicated thing is making sure you get in the right lane, and keeping an eye on those around you.
- lmm 2y agoThey're schematic but they reflect the shape of the roundabouts to help you follow it. E.g. https://www.youhaventlived.com/qblog/2005/QBlog160705A.html https://www.youhaventlived.com/qblog/2005/QBlog160705A.html has some examples.
- penguin_booze 2y agoAgreed. I use to not pay attention to the layout at all. Instead, I resorted to counting down the exits I was moving past them, whilst remembering myself to gradually changing lanes to the left, paying attention to cars on the adjacent lanes. Because of this, I forget to look and plan ahead--almost like tunnel vision. Suffice to say, it was--and still is--stressful, especially at those roundabouts with which I'm not familiar. Then I started paying attention to the displayed layout. This helped me with the bearings and lane positioning. At least, that's one item off my list when I'm in the roundabout.
