Improvement to Kyoto roundabout.

[McGherkin]

At the moment, the Kyoto layout has a bit of a flaw - the roundabout.

Currently, when travelling anticlockwise, cars have to move into the fast lane in order to keep going on to the roundabout, and this has caused a lot of conflict and a few crashes.
Usually this is either because traffic in the slow lane gets taken out when moving across to the roundabout, or by fast traffic swerving across at the last moment when they realise that they're on top of the roundabout in the wrong lane.

My idea is to do what is done IRL - end the fastlane before the junction, and then shape the road so that the traffic is pointed towards the roundabout, with the option to turn off right without too much hinderance.

It brings the fast lane traffic down to safe speeds and makes it safe for slower traffic to continue on to the roundabout. It prevents dangerous last minute overtakes and conflict over who has right of way.
