That decided to put screens on the approach to the Asda roundabout in Llansamlet. Where there was once free flowing traffic now we have tailbacks. Beggars belief. You sometimes wonder if there is a hidden agenda to wind people up. |  | | |  |

Cut down in accidents massively apparently.
Whilst I agree it's a pain in the arse they do enforce people to stop and check if the road ahead is clear. I expect them to pop up all over Swansea in the coming years. |  |

What a con that is.
Spin it to say how lovely everyone thinks it is. Dont let on of the HUGE cutbacks made in the parks department and there is no other alternative other than to get someone to throw a few seeds in and leave to nature.

The whole point of roundabouts as opposed to traffic lights is to keep traffic flowing. These boards stop that, so may as well put a stop sign there instead. Ridiculous things, if you can't use a roundabout properly/safely, then you shouldn't be driving. |  |

Roundabouts were designed to keep traffic flowing, a good driver should rarely need to actually stop. As I've said previously, this council love traffic lights and this is a cheap substitute |  |

This system was installed at the Cwmbwrla roundabout years ago, as this was an accident hot spot. It was installed at Llansamlet around Christmas/New Year's Day time.
They are not intended to 'enforce people to stop and check if the road ahead is clear' but are designed to prohibit your view of traffic on the roundabout until you reach a point where the car in front of you has already entered the roundabout.
Therefore, it removes the possibility of shunting the car in front, if you are concentrating on searching for a gap in the roundabout traffic and drive forward anticipating such a gap only to find that the car in front hasn't.
I suspect that most people tend to look at roundabout traffic even when they are only second in the queue to enter the roundabout. I know I do. |  | | |
