I think the what has transpired here is strange. 

I'm not arguing against the roundabout as I think it will prevent accidents and improve the flow of traffic from Pelton and Newfield onto the A693. However, I presumed would have been made four-way to include an additional junction for High Handenhold/High Urpeth instead of keeping the existing junction and road layout. Traffic emerging from High Handenhold aren't even prohibited from turning right on the A693. I think it would have made more sense to make traffic use the roundabout to turn around first.
