Suburban roundabout, Farnborough
At the junction of Beechcroft Road, Fairview Drive, Southlands Avenue and Melrose Crescent, this roundabout is one of two "asymmetric" ones in the area, clearly included as a "design" element of this pre/post war development rather than for traffic management reasons. (The hand of a designer is clearly demonstrated by the symmetric layout of the area as seen on the map excerpt. The other "balancing" roundabout is at the equivalent junction around 150m to the NNW - even the road names are symmetrical, with Northlands Avenue taking the place of Southlands Avenue!)
