"Even non-drivers would know that. Once I saw the strains, I was surprised."
Van driver John Dixon, 40, fumed: "This metropolis is fast turning into a laughing inventory.
"Do the individuals in control of our roads actually assume there are drivers parking their automobiles on roundabouts?
"It's madness and simply another instance of an entire waste of money."
