Outcry over roundel makes global press

Prom junction markings reach the US

The controversial roundel installed at the bottom of Broadway has been featured in the global press.

Consternation caused by the three oval markings, which now adorn the bottom of the junction with Douglas Promenade, has been picked up by The Sun, The Mail and LADbible as well as Fox News in America.

The Sun leads with: 'motorists blast bizarre and dangerous roundabout but are told you'll get used to it' - a reference to the Infrastructure Minister Tim Baker's comments.

Similarly the Daily Mail asks: 'is this the UK's most confusing roundabout?' Forgetting of course the Isle of Man is not in the UK.

It's even reached Fox News which says: 'we're baffled by this series of concentric ovals'.
