MAP TYPE SIGNS FOR MINI-ROUNDABOUTS

5.47 Figure 5-27 shows the design of the route symbol for a single mini-roundabout on a non-primary route. Note that, unlike the normal roundabout, there is no cut-out in the symbol. The design is used when all arms, including the approach arm, have a width of either 4sw or 2.5sw. Figure 5-28 shows the equivalent design for a primary route where at least one arm, which could be the approach arm, has a width of 6sw (the larger diameters take account of the wider route arms). The Regulations do not permit the mini-roundabout sign shown in diagram 611.1 to be used as a symbol on map type signs.

5.48 Figure 5-29 shows the design of the route symbol for a double mini-roundabout on a non-primary route. The connector between the two roundabouts is always 4sw wide, even it all route arms have a width of 2.5sw. The orientation of the symbol can be varied to suit the circumstances.

5.49 Figure 5-30 shows the design of the route symbol for a double mini-roundabout on a primary route. The connector between the two roundabouts is always 6sw wide, even it all route arms leading off the second roundabout have a width less than 6sw. The orientation of the symbol can be varied to suit the circumstances.

5.50 Any legend should not come closer than 2.5sw to the roundabout symbol, as for normal roundabouts (see figure 5-13).
