    Quick question, I don;t know if it's true or not but a friend mentioned that they had a new layout at Red Cow but didn't elaborate on it, or even whether it was the interchange or the roundabout just after.

    Is it true, and if it is would anyone happen to have details of it?

    Dont think any changes lately, last change was the layout to M50NB and SB from the N7 inbound afaik.

    Work is being done to replace the crash barriers at the moment but wouldn't call that a new layout

    Could they mean the Newlands Cross Flyover?

    What do people thing of these double merges? Do they work? Do traffic levels justify them? IM(H)O one much longer run in to the merge would be much better.

    The double merges (similar to the second image above) are in wide use in many countries and work quite well.
    The type of merge in the first picture would have worked better if there had been a couple of hundred metres of extra lane to allow vehicles to merger properly, rather than "dive" into lane one like they do now.
