Canford Bottom Roundabout Confusion. The Discovery has got into the wrong lane , and its got into the wrong lane early. It should be in the middle lane to go onto Wimborne. The lane its in goes round to the right for Colehill and the A31 East. So when the lights change it has to cut up the car we are in to get accross to our lane . It is not signalling this intention until the last second. Its a local numberplate so should know this roundabout [aka Mr Beans Roundabout]
Its confusing for holidaymakers so we always allow for them. but local drivers should know better.
This junction was originally a roundabout with no lights. Then for the 2012 Olympics and to allow direct through access for the A31 and the sailing at Weymouth, the layout was changed and 72 traffic lights added. It works quite well but you have to get in the right lane early as there is only about 3 to4 car lengths between each set of lights. There are 6 roads in/out of this junction, withe A31 going right through the middle.
It should be said there is a decent cycle route accross this junction with lights.
