Mini roundabouts are normally too small to be anything but round. I realise that we would use decimal s rather than fractions. But in most cases a guestimate of diameter in metres will do. Most will be either 1, 2 or 3 metres, using radius there will be a lot that are radius of 0.5m.
And I refuse to try measuring the ones on the A53 with a tape measure ;) Phil -- Sent from my Nokia N9 On 06/06/2012 13:36 Andrew Errington wrote: On Wed, 06 Jun 2012 21:21:56 Philip Barnes wrote: > Diameter is more universally understood by the layman than radius.

A diameter could have a fractional part, although we would use a decimal point.
