Here is Southend we have 8 stand alone puffins on approach to
roundabouts non signalised. They are normally sited 30 meters before the
roundabout.
After an issue was raised identical to the one you refer we have
installed Giveway markings and illuminated give way signs on the
roundabout.
All of our locations are dual carriageway approaches and we have
installed Giveway signs on the nearside and offside of the approach.
As far as I am aware we have not had any accidents at any of the
locations the first sites were installed around 7 years ago.

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!
