Doesn't matter how many exits it has .... it is still within the 180 degrees straight across from the Eastgate exit ... making it a left turn and not a right turn.

So if Hyndburn road was the last exit and the others were blocked off would the right hand lane never be used by your 180 degree logic?

Re: Eastgate Roundabout Annoyance
What about from Hyndburn Rd going up Eastgate?
bet theres a difference with that one, ME - I go left lane if I want to keep in the left lane on Eastgate, IE turning left or heading for Burnley Rd, I go in right lane if I'm going up Eastgate and want to go in the right lane on Eastgate, IE going towards Avenue Parade or turning right into Whalley Rd
