Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Do the rules of roundabouts not apply in Harringay?
This one in particular is the junction between Hermitage Road (coming up from the bottom) and St.Ann's Road (across from left to right).
I was riding on my bike on Hermitage Road, got to the junction, had no one coming from my right, entered the roundabout to turn right, when this crazy driver on a BMW X5 came up from my right speeding like hell and flashing at me cos I was on his way. He slowed down enough for me to turn right, and drove on, at which point I decided to go round the roundabout and chase him to teach him something.
3 thugs on board shouting at me like gangsters they had the right of way as they were coming from the right and telling me to FO. Me obviously shouting back but FFS, seriously, who gave them the driving licence? Shame I didn't think about taking his plate number!
So many idiots behind the wheel should read this:

This is a well dodgy roundabout for cyclists, particularly with vehicles turning right down Cornwall, but I don't think they changed the Highway Code for this one......

Not to excuse any of the behaviour described here at all, but this road junction was once a crossroads with Hermitage Road traffic giving way to St Anns Road traffic, so there might be a bit of a 'memory' effect for some drivers. Also, it doesn't 'look' like a mini-roundabout junction, somehow, though of course it has the signs and so on. Perhaps it needs an upgrade like the similar one on Endymion Road has recently had?

see this thread: http://www.harringayonline.com/forum/topics/st-ann-s-road-dangerous
There should be traffic lights here and at the roundabout at blackboy lane.

God no! Traffic lights would just cause more tailbacks! roundabouts are a very efficient way to keep traffic moving, but lack of road space means cyclists are at risk. We need cyclist slip roads or contraflow to keep them away from the roundabout traffic.
