FinBak 12 #64 Posted May 24, 2018 The worst roundabout in Sheffield?...Has to be the 'Hole in the road' for me..! Trying to get round it now with all them bluddy trams in the way is a right nightmare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jeffrey Shaw 90 #65 Posted May 29, 2018 There's more than 1 roundabout in the city centre, what does everyone else call it? Castle Square is the true name of what people colloquially call The Hole In The Road.As yet, Park Square has not acquired a sobriquet.

Zaphod 10 #66 Posted May 29, 2018 University without a doubt especially on a bicycle Why would anyone want to cycle round the University or the other major roundabouts especially when it is very busy or in low visibility conditions?

Cyclone 10 #67 Posted May 30, 2018 Castle Square is the true name of what people colloquially call The Hole In The Road.As yet, Park Square has not acquired a sobriquet. The hole in the road isn't a roundabout and hasn't been for 20+ years! Park Square is often called the magic roundabout. ---------- Post added 30-05-2018 at 08:59 ---------- Why would anyone want to cycle round the University or the other major roundabouts especially when it is very busy or in low visibility conditions? Is this like "why did the chicken cross the road?" Presumably they want to cycle around them in order to go somewhere on the other side.

Presumably they want to cycle around them in order to go somewhere on the other side. <Enters pedant mode> Park Square is not actually a roundabout - it is not governed by roundabout rules. It is a series of traffic light controlled junctions that just happened to be laid out to roughly form a circle. Same applies to the “roundabouts” at each end of the Tinsley Viaduct. <Leaves pedant mode... ...for now> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
spilldig 190 #69 Posted May 30, 2018 I don't like any roundabout that gets obscured by vegetation, as for instance, St Mary's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nobody is forcing you to cycle round a dangerous roundabout though are they? You have the option to dismount and pretend you're a pedestrian who use the proper traffic controlled crossings. If people driving cars complain about how bad those roundabouts are I only imagine how many times worse it could be on a bike.

There since the tram was installed until last year’s road works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
sheffbag 230 #72 Posted May 30, 2018 End of the parkway on the Rotherham side. The lane markings are completely wrong to go from the parkway to Rotherham. If you stay in the lane marked "Roth" you end up on the M1 and have to cross over or start in the wrong lane and expect people to cross across Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
