The "Tesco roundabout" was the second (smaller) traffic island at Sudden. Although still shown on the OS map as a roundabout, the junction of the A58 Bolton Road and the A664 Manchester Road was re-designed in a major roadworks scheme during 2007-8, to ease congestion. http://www.theimpactpartnership.com/File.ashx?id=Case%20studies/Sudden%20Roundabouts.pdf http://www.rochdaleonline.co.uk/news-features/councillor-diaries/531/an-apology-from-councillor-greg-couzens-cabinet-member-for-highways This view is taken from Bolton Road (the A58) looking towards Rochdale. To the right, traffic is joining from Manchester Road (the A664) and the Tesco supermarket.
