'Idiots driving like lunatics' around new Leeds roundabout with 50mph limit

“Idiots have been driving like absolute lunatics” around a massive new Leeds roundabout which just finished construction last week.

There's 50mph speed limit where the A58 Wetherby Road meets the East Leeds Orbital Route (ELOR) roundabout and it has come under heavy fire. The ELOR roundabout was fully opened last week as part of a new dual carriageway of Leeds' outer Ring Road.

A nearby resident, who wished to remain anonymous, spoke about his fears after two fast vehicles almost crashed into the side of his car. But Leeds City Council says the 50mph limit simply following government guidance as the roundabout is not in a built-up area.
