In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
"It has been dubbed Britain's 'most woke' roundabout because drivers must give priority to pedestrians, then cyclists, and then other cars and lorries before continuing on themselves. Locals have pointed out the priority for cyclists and pedestrians is unnecessary as only cars and lorries regularly use the Boundary Way route."
Ok ok, so you're saying that basically any roundabout is too difficult. Then it's a case of driver certification and not roundabouts. We really should stop seeing having a driver license as a right, rather than a privilege. Of course that will never happen.
The problem with not seeing driving as a right is without public transport you will alienate a huge portion of the most vulnerable people.
You need to solve other issues before you can start taking away licenses unfortunately
I rather have people be alienated then them crashing into other people. If not having a car is such a huge problem, drive better or move somewhere where you are not so reliant on a car.
