This roundabout is being turned into a hamburger type

I'll start making some changes this week. Judging by a recent UR, the eastern side has been started on

Update: 6 Oct 2016
  • Speed limits along A45 - Stonebridge Highway adjusted to reflect new 50mph limit & splits added for new underpass connections (still has temp 40 approaching TB roundabout).
  • Speed limits along A46 - Coventry Eastern Bypass adjusted also (temp 40 in both directions).
  • Added segments for the new underpass, just for the hell of it, and so they can be connected ahead of time (with a closure applied) ready for a real-time opening... hopefully this year. NB: names need to be confirmed
I'm not entirely sure what the final road types will be at this junction. The 2 segments from the A46 will likely be Ramps, and be renamed accordingly. However, as the A45 continues south off the roundabout the 2 segments from the A45 to the roundabout should in effect stay as the A45 also.

Update: 19 Nov 2016
  • Underpass segments set to Major Highway & named to give best continuation
  • Old segments approaching the roundabout set to Ramp & renamed to current standard
  • A45 (E) adjusted to give KL instruction due to lane drop on this approach
Expecting a few URs until Waze has gained enough data to show this is the fastest route... shouldn't take too long as the queues to the roundabout are usually awful.

The underpass has only 1 lane open in each direction with finish works still being carried out. Also works still to be complete on the Siskin Dr junction.

Update: 18 Jan 2017
  • Enabled right turn from Rowley Road to Siskin Drive
As all major alterations to roads / segments are now completed this topic can probably be marked as complete. Only changes to be made are Speed Limits when they lift the reduced speed limits.

Actually, it's definitely not a hamburger - that's for when the road going through the middle is LEVEL with the roundabout and the traffic going around the outside has to keep stopping to let the through traffic drive straight over.

It's going to be an underpass, allowing both flows at the same time. (They're making really good progress - went there yesterday!).

Hi.
Does it look significantly different?

If they're still connected to the roundabout, then I suggest we leave it as-is. The roundabout as drawn is in the middle of the GPS tracks for vehicles going round and vehicles going East -> West.

Let me know what you think and if it could be done better we can have a go together.
