Planning + Labour + Materials = Cost. It was a council job so probably a few back handers in there too.

Seems about right for a civil engineering project of that size.

A lot of that cost is for building a giant pair of compasses.

I could have done it with a pole and some rope for half the price.

I fail to see how lynching Eastern Europeans gets anyone a new roundabout.

Cheap labour. Didn't that lad who used to post driveways on here hire a bunch of Slavs?

Potentially a good idea if drivers understand it.

The biggest worry I have is that people in cars will assume they have the right of way exiting a roundabout, where cyclists will be going straight around without stopping. There's going to be at least a fair amount of near misses where cars slam their brakes on right before the crossing.
The other problem would be cars waiting to enter the roundabout blocking the cycle lanes, especially lorries.

They've had to close it already because some numpty drove into a Belisha beacon.

Fuck's sake.
