h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Nicely structured and written. However, people reading "Turning right will be your greatest challenge. Signalling right, aim for the middle of the roundabout. Pass the first exit," may be confused; they could take you literally and "aim" to cycle straight ahead and over the top. Something like "Signalling right, take the right-hand lane" could be clearer.

This article brings to mind the misleading habit of so many, many car drivers intending to go straight on at a roundabout - and even a mini-roundabout - of signalling to go right as they approach (and often maintaining that even as they exit the (mini-)roundabout). Hugely confusing for any road user who knows the correct signals - more so, I think, than those drivers who do not indicate at all.

I'd changed that in the section on mini-roundabouts, I hadn't noticed it being confusing in the larger roundabouts section.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks Vip and Keith. And always nice to welcome a relative newcomer to the h2g2 fold.
