Bath & North East Somerset Council has finished a new mini roundabout in Charlton Road, Keynsham, as part of safety and highway improvement works.
The T-junction at Charlton Road in Keynsham with Charlton Park has been replaced with a mini roundabout in response to concerns raised over vehicle speeds as well as access and egress issues from the junction.
Bath states that the introduction of the mini roundabout aims to improve safety by reducing the speed of traffic.

The changes were completed over a three-week period in January. The road was kept open throughout with works carried out under temporary signals to reduce disruption.
Cabinet member for highways Manda Rigby said: “Charlton Road sees a lot of vehicle traffic and we wanted to reduce vehicle speeds and make the junction with Charlton Park safer for everyone, including pedestrians, alongside the new roundabout we’ve narrowed the existing crossing point there as well as other improvements.”
