I guess you haven't seen the monstrosity on one of the Roundabouts of the A3125/A39, outside of Barnstable heading towards Bideford, 9 very large slabs of rock welded in 3 steel RHS frames.:doh:

Love the Spainish roundabout feature, very warming on the mind.

Try googling "roundabout sculpture" - there's loads of lovely stuff.
One of my favourites is Spitfire Island, Castle Bromwich

Beats what we get round here....
Half hearted flower displays and 'this roundabout is sponsored by (enter company name)' signs...town hall will do anything for a bit of extra cash :mad:

Only interesting one is at Reighton, by the Dotterel pub, on the A165....three or four tin sheep watched over by a very tall shepherd.

Being an old mining town we have a miner weilding a pick axe and a woman bending over picking up lumps of coal. Dependent upon which approach road you use it looks like he's about to whack her backside with the pickaxe.

Nice photos. In this country we get traffic lights on our roundabouts ???????????
Who came up with that stupid idea ? It's the old belt and braces all over again . The whole idea is that a roundabout filters the traffic by drivers giving way to vehicle approaching from the right. I find that most traffic lights on roundabouts tend to cause more problems than they cure,plus the extra cost involved installing them ?

I find a lot of drivers are distracted enough on roundabouts without giving them something to distract them even more ? This is just a personal view,with no offence intended.

Regards to all,Frank.

Well that puts paid to MY personal irritant ... I can never understand why there are traffic lights in places where a roundabout would suffice and traffic is standing still at red lights whilst there is no-one at the green light... grrrr.

In your case, they have totally undone any use the roundabout has provided!!!!

For me I think something unusual on a roundabout like a giant chicken is quite a good idea. Today a lot of our towns look all the same and a distinct landmark when navigating around is useful. Ie if a local said drive all the way to the chicken roundabout and the place you want is 2nd on the left it's helpful.
