Hi I can assure you that the Devonport City Council is in love with converting standard intersections into min round-abouts with high raised flower beds which means unless you drive a tank your vehicle is going to get hurt. Most have a large mountable curb areas for trucks and buses but as mentioned a solid inner. In fact any barrier or road side furniture is being put in at a rate that makes you think that the city engineer has shares in these companies. I will leave it up to letters to the paper to describe the residents views of such things but they do exist. Cheers

That may have been true once, but the last few new roundabouts I've seen built near me have all been either true mini roundabouts (nothing but paint) or a couple where there is a raised centre concrete disc, but it's only raised about a cm, and is fully traversable. I'm not sure why they've started appearing. Stephen On 15 September 2012 22:26, Nick Hocking <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Brett, You've just said a *really" controversial phrase (mini roundabouts). In Australia there is a *LOT* of history surrounding these things. I do have a definite opinion on them but I reckon it would be best (if not unbearably tedious) for you to read the many vitiolic posts on this subject on talk-au.
