Really confusing roundabout in the UK forced to shut down due to crash
· Aug 11, 2020 · NottheBee.com

A roundabout designed to give pedestrians and cyclists the right-of-way had to be closed for 3 days prior to the official opening, due to a crash. It's the UK's first dutch-style roundabout that prioritizes cyclists and pedestrians, and hopefully the last.

An article by The Sky News explains, "The roundabout is designed so motorists give way to pedestrians and cyclists when joining and leaving the roundabout. There are also zebra crossings over each approach road for pedestrians. The scheme was originally estimated to cost £800,000, but the bill almost trebled because of additional utility work and coronavirus-related complications"

Below is the most confusing design that I've ever seen, and I can confirm unequivocally that if I ever visited the roundabout, I would also be involved in a crash.
