Spain has introduced “Dutch carousels” that protect cyclists and avoid constant collisions on the road. a country.
The new roundabouts function like a normal roundabout, but there is a bike path on the outer arch. These roundabouts are very common in countries such as Belgium, France, the UK and the Netherlands.
Whenever a vehicle enters these roundabouts, it must give way to a bicycle moving in the cycle lane. “Dutch roundabouts” are also notable for their preference for pedestrians, as cyclists are also required to yield to oncoming pedestrians.
The big difference in traffic on this type of roundabout is that the general priority rule for those walking on the right does not apply. Preference is given to vehicles that are already inside the ring road.
According to the European Automobile Association (AEA), 45,000 accidents were recorded at roundabouts between 2015 and 2019.
