What the petition asks
Introduce Australian-style roundabout signage to clearly map lane routes in advance for drivers approaching a roundabout. Conduct trials and allow these kinds of diagrams.
We think this could reduce driver hesitation, sudden lane cutting, and accidents on roundabouts.
Current roundabout signs often only show exits, which can often leave drivers guessing at which lane to use until they are already at the junction or on the roundabout. This can cause confusion, congestion, and dangerous last-minute lane changes, especially on complex or unfamiliar multi-lane roundabouts.
We think Australian signs can solve this problem by showing the lanes on the diagram as well as the exits the lane routes correspond with.
This simple change could make our roads safer and less stressful.
