Bahraini Spirit said:Great, they cause traffic jams and are an old british system. The only cool roundabout is the pearl roundabout cause it has the monument, the others just cause uncessary traffic jams. Guys i'll be in London for a few days so i'll disappear from the forum and be back later. Enjoy.
yes Qata4ever, I know, Qatar had the lead ..I remember hearing the news of Qatar removing the roundabout long ago. you cant believe what trouble we face daily because of the roundabouts, however the substitute will be in bahrain only one, Flyovers and not traffic light. this will be only a waste of money and effort !Qatar4Ever said:I think this is a very smart move. Qatar is also moving slowly to move all major roundabouts and replacing them with traffic lights or tunnels/flyovers. Roundabouts cause unnecassry traffic and a lot of accidents.
I doubt the pearl roundabout will acctually be removed, a really huge flyover was constructed right next to it, so that should control the traffic.
As for makkah, no offense, but makkah might not have any roundabouts, neither does it have one decent road. The whole city needs reconstruction.
I dont know what you mean with 6-8 lane highways ,, we dont have that in Bahrain, We dont have Low-Medium taraffic either !!! what we have is a miss.HiJazzey said:There's nothing wrong with roundabouts, if anything they are a much more efficient and elegant solution to managing low to medium density junctions. The problem is the person who had the bright idea of installing them on 6-8 lane highways, which is crazy.
