We have a one in Cornwall. The crossing is approx 15m from stop line of
a medium size RB. No accident problem as far as we are aware and it has
been in for some years. =20
Also I was at a presentation last week that may be relevant, about
Galleys RB in Essex where I think 1 side road approach only has been
signalised with a stop line set back from the RB, part time signals
operate when congestion is detected by an above ground cctv camera, no
crossing involved however it is still a stop line close to give way at
the RB and driver behaviour was better than expected, I think. Contact
Tom Sidall, Atkins Essex Office for info, it's a new scheme - don't
think they have accident problem.

Subject: [TCUG] Controlled crossings near roundabouts
I'm after some feedback, if possible, following a complaint about one of
our sites.
Does anyone else have puffins or pelicans on the immediate approach to
(non-signalised) roundabouts? If so how many do you have, and how close
are they to the roundabout give way? Has this led complaints by
motorists being confused and believing that a green signal gives them
priority onto the roundabout? Has it led to any accidents that you are
aware of?
Please discuss!
