This is a vent.
Anyone live in the Wokingham area and use the Winnersh triangle roundabout for their commute to work? The traffic lights are going to out of service for the next 6 weeks! Chaos is going to ensue!

    I used to use that roundabout every day for my commute, but I didn't live in Wokingham. I lived near Luton.

    This is a roundabout with a road through the middle:

    The road through the middle with be blocked off. In the past, when the lights have failed for some reason, and the road through the middle has been closed, it has caused traffic chaos during the rush hour.

    ^^This. Op, after the initial confusion you may find that the opposite is true and rather than chaos motorists start to think and concentrate more on what they are doing rather than drive on auto-pilot.
