I love riding round Old Street roundabout, it can be lots of fun. I live almost next to it, so I ride it regularly.
You do realise what they're proposing to do to it, don't you?

As a traffic scheme, it's even worse than the Elephant and Castle disaster, and that's saying something.

looks bonkers, first time I've seen it so thanks for sharing. maximum emphasis on future oversite development potential rather than making surrounding infrastructure more coherent, it seems.

What in fuck's cock is that?!?
All they needed to do is widen and compulsorise(gr?) the cycle lanes entering the ASLs.

I thought this was scrapped?
Eitherway, it's pretty ridiculous and inelegant. There are alternatives to gyratories but this is a butchering.
What I really don't get is that they go through all that work and keep that horrible fucking sculpture.

On the plus side, it does reclaim some walkable space.

The HC's other advise is to walk round on the verge/footway, which is reasonable if you're not a confident rider. There's no mention of "be assertive" and "occupy your lane", which IMHO is what is required to ride a roundabout like the Old Street one.
