Roundabout at the top of Vicarage Street

From "Interactive map: add your concerns and ideas"

This roundabout is very busy and particularly dangerous for cyclists and walkers. Because Vicarage St and Christchurch Street are so close to each other, it is really hard for anyone to know which road car drivers in particular are planning to go down, even if they indicate. As a cyclist, I sometimes get off rather than trying to cycle around it - which is a shame as Vicarage Street is otherwise a good route into town. I have also observed pedestrians finding it dangerous to cross the road because of traffic coming at speed off the roundabout.

I agree this is dangerous for pedestrians and feels like a free-for-all. Barriers and a proper pedestrian crossing of some kind are needed.

I also agree. If it is possible, I'd increase the width of the pedestrian island on Portway towards Garston's vets and I think this is another area which would benefit from the introduction of a 20mph speed limit.
