considerable tyre and scrape marks from vehicles going over the island kerbing, suggesting that many drivers have not seen the roundabout until it was too late to stop. Speciýc problems with the roundabout are as follows: 1. The roundabout is around a bend, so drivers don’t see it until they are at the roundabout. 2. There is no street lighting. 3. There is only one sign from the north on Jones Street. I believe that the roundabout could be made much safer with the following suggestions: 1. Implement additional street signs warning of the roundabout on all roads, but especially on Jones Street to the north of the intersection. 2. Ensure the street lighting on Tom Road is extended so that the roundabout at Jones Street is lit at night. 3. Add reþective markers on the road kerbing. I have included photographs of the roundabout and the approach from the north on Jones Street as evidence of these issues. I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter.
