“It has been dubbed Britain’s ‘most woke’ roundabout because drivers must give priority to pedestrians, then cyclists, and then other cars and lorries before continuing on themselves. Locals have pointed out the priority for cyclists and pedestrians is unnecessary as only cars and lorries regularly use the Boundary Way route.”

    Oh yeah, but what I’m saying is I don’t get why this would be “woke” since it’s the most basic of motor vehicle laws in even the least pedestrian-friendly places.

      Oh anything that’s not completely selfish for the people who already have all the privileges qualifies as “woke” to them.

      I agree it’s just basic common sense and humanity.

      But then I felt compelled to point out you can’t rely on it for safety, because pedestrian deaths are high and on the rise.
