Its an idea, it would have to be a mini obviously. But I would have thought it would just encourage traffic to turn left, since taking the first exit is the easiest thing to do on a roundabout. I had thought that the idea would be to allow quite legitimate road users going to Sainsburys a legitimate destination a route and also avoid long tail backs on Horman Drive. A roundabout might actually channel traffic there.

Perhaps if it is going to be widened at the top, an good number of speed bumps (the really annoying steep ones) on the top bit would have the effect. And those square speed bumps on the lower parts that are designed to let ambulances speed over them. Although of course white vans can too.

On a side note, I did take this route to work this morning and I did notice that the timings seem to have been upp'ed recently. Does anyone know what the timing actually are, if not I'll stand there with a stopwatch like a right saddo tonight! It was certainly smoother getting off the hill than it has been, or maybe everyone just knows to carry on going even on amber now to get a couple more cars everytime?
