There are some big changes coming to the Russley Road / Memorial Avenue roundabout by the airport.
Starting Sunday the 20th March, the roundabout will be quite transformed. It will be 500m long, have three lanes and be controlled by give way rules and traffic lights. Eventually an over bridge will be going over top of Memorial Avenue so Russley Road traffic will continue through.
This is how the new layout will look:

What do you think? How do you feel about three lanes in this roundabout?
