30mph on the approach and exits

Thank you. It's a dual carraigeaway so I was assuming it's 70 when no signs.

@@faryalabid2288 It’s 50 on that stretch of dual carriageway that reduces to 30 on approach to throughabout

Generally speed limit changes are found at the start or end of a road. Hope this helps

Thank you so much for your help. My test is in next few days and your videos are so helpful specially for roundabouts.

So these are tricky as you are entering a primary road in this case a dual carriageway from a secondary road…so the dual carriageway can start on the approach to the roundabout ( that’s the case here) on the roundabout ( would be the case if coming from Webb’s Heath and taking third exit ) or on the exit of the roundabout. So our approach was to take middle on approach, middle on the first section of roundabout and left lane prior to exiting … hope this helps

Sorry for late reply… on approach in middle lane has two options… option 1) is to go second exit to Mangotsfield or as I have shown option 2) to go to the right 3rd exit onto the ring road in the normal driving lane…yes you can use the right have lane on the approach but you will then leave 3 exit in the over taking lane… hope this helps and thanks for looking

You’re wrong 😂 Look at the road markings first before you comment

Overall I thing the design was poor… two lanes becoming three then a speed restriction as prior to three lanes becoming two so far from the junction…also initially had the wrong markings on the road including east / west…and wrong lane arrows.. signage from Cad Heath should have ring road box…so many accidents including a fatality where a simple spiral would have worked and would have been safer and cheaper

Dyslexia. Sorry

Signage is poorly placed and not spaced correctly in my opinion and often hidden by trees and bushes..seems to be the standard for this council…

@bristoldrivinglessons4534 having driven through on a regular basis now, I find the main issue is the number of traffic lights. Regularly, I find myself watching the wrong set, and many people set off when the wrong set turns green.

@@GrandadIsAnOldMan I think that the basic design is wrong where you have a two lane dual carriageway that becomes three lanes on approach and exit of the throughabout.. this then doesn’t give enough space on the roundabout for the traffic light… they have now put shutters on the green lights trying to fix the issue you and many others have regarding which light to look at.. Then we are held at 30 mph until the three lanes become two some considerable distance after the throughabout where the majority of driver do not observe this but understand the council didn’t want a high speed collision hence the restriction whereas if they had two lanes through the throughabout there would be no need for the speed restrictions and more room on the roundabout part to space the traffic lights..I think it’s poor but used to this from this council.

Regarding the traffic lights you are not alone as this happens daily.. the council should they get government money to modify the test of the ringroad roundabouts in this way should NEVER create a dangerous driving environment but increasing a two lane dual carriageway to three lanes then back to two shortly afterwards.. this is the reason for the 30mph speed restrictions ( in case of a collision which I fully understand but this also reduced the spacing of the traffic lights around the throughabout..Surely they won’t make the same mistake twice !!

Generally you would signal right on approach and maintain until you get to the second set of lights… now you are in a designated right turn only so could remove the signal but as long as you change the signal / or take it off prior to the third exit this would be fine… hope this helps and thanks for looking

Can’t really comment as I wasn’t there but the video is correct… sorry for late reply as I found this in the spam folder
