Believe me, it is difficult on a live approach where you also don't have the luxury of spending time looking at a static scene.

Sounding the horn would not serve a useful purpose. Incidentally, the bridge has a 2t mgw limit so several drivers shown here are breaking the rules - plus many others plus a council official with a Range Rover that knows full well. There's no sign saying so. Is this an older Google photo? The signs are at the roundabouts at each end of the road. A multi-storey car-park near here had a down-ramp with a give way line at the bottom of it, with the posibility of traffic approaching from the left. A sign on the wall said "Sound Horn". I never did. Weird. Exactly. I bet someone thought it was clever, though. There were houses near the location and the occupants were as entitled to reasonable efforts to keep down noise as anyone else is. Well done you. Likewise, an Italian friend used to sound his car horn on a hump-backed bridge near his village. But the bridge had a house adjacent to it. He would never listen to my remonstrations; I gained the impression that he... [...revelled in it.] Sorry, missed that out last time. OK If the horn was not so unpleasant, the administrators that defined the 90dbA standard understood physics and the pad on the steering wheel was force sensing to allow the driver to add expression it might be more acceptable. Is that the C&U standard? I never knew that. Yes, 90dbA at 2m is the standard. The problem is that it isn't sensible to measure a narrowband signal with a wideband instrument. A wideband 90dbA source would be completely inaudible inside a vehicle. In case your thoughts are drifting, the "150db" horns used by some cyclists are probably fairly similar, except measured in a different way. If it was done in the same way, the extra 60db would require a million times more power. |

You seem to be just trying to make a point rather than trying to work out how to use a roundabout in the most efficient way for the circumstances you find at the time. Depending on the size, I indicate left when I leave, and indicate right if I'm going around it a fair distance. With very rare exceptions I don't indicate twice; either right while circulating or left before leaving, depending on layout, lane and conditions. There are roundabouts where the major road goes right, and though minor roads join between, it is not necessary to indicate when following the major. There are many other examples. |
