Do you recognize this roundabout?
The B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure posted a video on Facebook last week, explaining how and when drivers should signal when travelling in a roundabout.
While the ministry doesnB次元官网网址檛 name the location they used to point out how many drivers are failing to properly signal, many Greater Victoria residents recognize the McTavish Road interchange in North Saanich.
There has been no shortage of crashes, rollovers and close calls in local roundabouts, especially at the one singled out by the ministry.
Earlier this summer, Black Press editor Steven Heywood took a ride through that interchange with local driving instructor Ken Todd. ToddB次元官网网址檚 advice for drivers is to be prepare and patient B次元官网网址� and to signal their intentions early.
WATCH:
Another area local residents have expressed frustration with is the new roundabout at West Shore and Langford parkways.
The ministryB次元官网网址檚 video was posted the same week West Shore Parkway fully opened in Langford. The entire 3.5-kilometre roadway gives drivers the ability to travel from the Trans-Canada Highway south to Sooke Road, and is completely controlled by roundabouts, including a two-lane roundabout in the Westhills area.
