I believe there is some talk of changes to that roundabout as there have been far too many accidents at it.

Also, regarding the Sandy Lane roundabout and the x7/x8. I believe it was suggested before the scheme was approved that they should have a bus gate down the back of Gosforth Park where the buses would turn left at the Miller and Carter roundabout and along the road by the garden centre to avoid getting caught in the traffic. Unfortunately while it would have been a great idea, Council planners didn't think it was necessary. I'm sure the commuters on the x7/x8 will disagree with that when they're delayed for 20 minutes in the traffic there.
