Colchester residents express frustration over the chaotic A133 roundabout, citing confusion and lack of signaling from drivers.
Colchester: You know how roundabouts can be a bit of a head-scratcher? Well, in Colchester, there’s one that’s got everyone talking. It’s called the A133 Ipswich Road roundabout, and let me tell you, it’s a real doozy.
This roundabout is part of a route that locals navigate daily, and it’s not just any roundabout. It’s a single roundabout that replaced two double roundabouts back in 2018. Essex Highways thought they were making things better, but it seems like they might have missed the mark.
Even after all the improvements, folks are still saying it’s a nightmare. You’ve got drivers not signaling, which makes it super confusing. One resident, Rachel, put it perfectly: “Unless everyone indicates, you’re constantly guessing which exit they’ll take.”
Another local, Leanne, chimed in, saying the new roundabouts on Harwich and Ipswich Roads are even worse. It’s like a roundabout showdown, and everyone’s got their opinions!
