A CONTROVERSIAL £2million colourful roundabout finally opened yesterday - and immediately drove some users round the bend.

Driven to distraction

Motorists, cyclists and walkers took to the Dutch-style junction in Hemel Hempstead, Herts, after the county council made a film on how to use it.

The four-way intersection had been branded “confusing” and the UK’s most woke roundabout, as drivers must give way first to pedestrians, then cyclists and then to vehicles.

Cycling activists and councillors have defended the change as safer.

Waste

But one local, who would not be named, called the segregated roundabout “a complete waste of money”, adding: “There are no pedestrians up this way really to give way to.

“There’s more important things to worry about. There was nothing wrong with the old roundabout.”
