2 - Cambridge

This is the first Dutch roundabout build in Britain on a public road.

3 - North Shields

This retrofit Dutch roundabout stretches the limit of what can be considered 'Dutch', because of the non circular shape, but the design makes my list for it's use of priority on each arm.

4 - Sheffield

This scheme includes both a Dutch roundabout and a Voorrangsplein junction

We hope we are getting this one in #Leicestershire https://www.leicestershire.gov.uk/roads-and-travel/road-projects/the-parade-oadby-cyclops-junction-scheme

Yes I believe this proposal has the funding allocated even though many locals were objecting @leicsactivetravel.bsky.social

leicsactivetravel.bsky.social•78 days ago

We didn’t hear the outcome of the decision though from Leics CC. Everything has gone very noticeably quiet on the active travel front!

That's a CYCLOPS junction not a roundabout :)

leicsactivetravel.bsky.social•78 days ago

Has anyone heard if it’s been given the go ahead? It was due for a decision in September.

and this one in @rideleicester.bsky.social itself https://news.leicester.gov.uk/news-articles/2023/november/funding-boost-for-council-plans-to-transform-outdated-junction/

Both CYCLOPs not Dutch Roundabouts.

They will go in the offical CYCLOPs tally when complete.

I have to disagree. There is an urban and a rural layout for Dutch practice )in design guidance) and this is so far away from it I wouldn't want to mention Dutch in the same sentence.

Plus, it's more down to things like the size of the roundabout and geometry that it stretches the limit of what can be considered 'Dutch', not because of the non-circular shape.

There's even a misconception about the circular shape -- many Dutch cycling priority roundabouts are not circular.

Some have more arms for cycles than traffic too!

Interestingly the Cambridge one is technically against the regs I believe due to the curved cycle crossings. Sheffield is more by the book in that aspect.
