</span>They most certainly are roundabouts. It
depends how they are signed,<br>
but they are considered to be roundabouts.
Non-signalised roundabouts<br>
are becoming increasingly rare. Most signalised
roundabouts do not have<br>
signals on all roads, those still operate on the
normal roundabout<br>
priority.<br>
<br>
Telford, for example, was designed in the 1960s by
throwing a packet of<br>
polo mints onto a large piece of paper or was it
two packets? These<br>
days many of the busier roundabouts have signals,
to suddenly declare<br>
them not roundabouts would be ridiculous.<br>

Interesting/<br>
The reason for creating roundabouts rather than traffic lights here
is cost. <br>
If these same intersections are to become traffic light controlled
then a creating a roundabout is simply putting off the expenditure.
