  1. It seems like we are now just overengineering everything. 2 million pounds per roundabout? How much *actual* difference to anybody’s lives? How many more pedestrians and cyclists knocked down by twats in BMWs who instead of having one red light crossing and one layer of traffic to deal with now have 3 layers of traffic to deal with?

  2. I find it hilarious that “woke” is thought of as an insult by the hard of thinking.

  3. I just don’t know why it costs £2m to paint a couple of zebra crossings and a bike lane? Think it’s a good idea

  4. In other news amounts of money that are big for one ordinary parson don’t buy much in terms of infrastructure.

  5. Ngl this is gorgeous, it looks like a roundabout I’d see on some pro City Skylines tutorial.

  6. Fuck me, I’ve met people with actual brain damage that don’t have as many cognitive deficits as people who constantly moan about things being woke.

  7. Crikey. Some people just can’t get through the day without being outraged by something. Now it’s roundabouts!

    Go find a better hobby people who feed on faux outrage!

  8. Seen lots of accidents there, god forbid the gov trying to keep people safe!

  9. Are we still posting links from My London? It’s always such desperate clickbait

  10. Is it woke because if you squint and go cross eyed a bit the green cycle lane and the red path way look a little bit like a trans flag? 🏳️‍⚧️

  11. Anyone who uses the term work in this way should be put in the stocks.

  12. This roundabout is in Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire. I almost gave my phone cancer going onto the My London website to try and find out where it is.

    The article says “It has been dubbed Britain’s ‘most woke’ roundabout because drivers must give priority to pedestrians, then cyclists, and then other cars and lorries before continuing on themselves. Locals have pointed out the priority for cyclists and pedestrians is unnecessary as only cars and lorries regularly use the Boundary Way route. However many cyclists have welcomes the roundabout. “

  13. There is one I drive through in Cambridge every day. The cycle lane is fine, zebra crossing can cause issues. Fortunately its not often used.

  14. woke. being awake. aware. i think all roundabouts are woke if they was not we would not be using them.

    i do find it odd that people dont know what woke means

  15. Don’t you know? Anything the right don’t like is woke, its their way of critisising something without having to say whats wrong with something.

  16. Fucking snowflake cyclists and pedestrians demanding not to be run over and squashed. It’s PC gone mad…

  17. That’s a lot of whining from car drivers who rely on the kindness of people operating excavators to not be crushed when they are in the way.

  18. But the new one in Sheffield is significantly more “woke”

  19. I’m so fucking sick of this woke nonsense. Not because I don’t believe in being woke, I am extremely woke, but because I’m just sick of the lack of creativity in the English language. I’m just bored of hearing the same fucking phrase thrown about which has nothing to do with the issue at hand. I’m just exhausted by fucking morons basically. Fucking woke roundabouts….. just urgh.

  20. Anyone who uses this word unironically is a THICK CUNT xx

  21. As roundabouts are now labelled as woke… does this mean it would be official Reform policy to remove them all?

  22. More and more convinced that crying about “woke” is actual brain damage.

  23. They’re even making the roundabouts trans now. Utter woke nonsense

  24. Why are British politics now defined along the lines of American culture wars?

  25. I recently overheard a man in Sainsbury’s walk past the self-service checkouts, loudly declaring: ‘no I don’t think I’ll use the WOKE CHECKOUTS today.’

    None of this rubbish surprises me anymore.

  26. Can anyone explain what the fuck is going on in the picture? Is that red fence for roadworks or is it a permanent fixture? It feels like they’ve taken the most confusing picture possible.

  27. Isn’t this literally just a Dutch style roundabout?

  28. Can’t even endanger the lives of others without offending someone now.

  29. So, building a roundabout with bike and pedestrian lanes is woke for these guys. A roundabout that separates bikes and pedestrians from the cars, thus keeping them safe and allowing the cars to move faster. Owning the libs blinds them from seeing the benefits. I wish we had a word for that already.

  30. Fuck America until the end of its days for exporting this culture war bullshit.
