Wickes Roundabout, Taunton, to be on traffic light control

The Issue

somerset locals will know the pain of enduring the drive around one of our most dangerous roundabouts in the county. unfortunately a lot of  commuters have to go around this roundabout multiple times a day. many accidents have been caused on this roundabout due to reckless driving and driving at far too high speeds. this roundabout joins onto a small dual carriageway. i believe it would be a lot safer and a lot of people would be put at ease going onto this roundabout if traffic lights were fitted around it, almost like a motorway roundabout but on a lower scale. a lot of people experience immense anxiety when forced to go onto this roundabout, i believe the roundabout is poorly managed for how busy it gets and it often gets used by the public and freshly passed drivers who can be a danger to others and themselves without the correct management. this is why i believe traffic lights should be fitted as so many problems would be resolved.
