Cambridgeshire is the first authority to install a Dutch style roundabout in the UK. You might find this interesting - I have turned on comments so that you can start a conversation if you would like!
On Friday 31st July it is planned that the works at the new Dutch style roundabout at Fendon Road/Queen Edith’s Way, Cambridge will be completed.
This is the first of its kind in the UK and the design is such that it has priority crossings for cyclists and pedestrians at each arm of the roundabout.
A video link below which can be copied into your browser, demonstrates the principles behind the junction from the perspective of drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
