We've just spoken to Cambridgeshire County Council about the new roundabout-like design on Tenison Road in Cambridge.
Image source, Al StorerA spokesman for the county council told us it is "just a feature on the road that was agreed by residents, councillors and the Cambridge Cycling campaign".
"Residents wanted to make the road less like a rat-run, so it has a different feel to slow drivers down a bit.
"Residents saw all the designs and agreed them. It's gone through considerable consultation through years."
So there you have it...

How often do you get to look at an X-ray of a hedgehog?
Image source, Fenland Animal RescueThis little chap was due to be put to sleep because of his badly broken leg, but volunteers at Fenland Animal Rescue stepped in to save the day.
X-rays showed a "severe fracture to his rear left leg", which you can see at the bottom left of this photo.
"This poor hog had spent some time with his leg in this state and the blood supply to the leg had been compromised," Josh Flanagan, from the organisation said.
Vets decided amputation was the only way to save him.
He's recovered remarkably well and the three-legged hog will soon be waddling off to his new home, a hedgehog sanctuary in Wisbech.

There was one lighter moment in the 1-0 win for Peterborough over Northampton Town at Sixfields on Saturday.
Midfielder Michael Bostwick played a pass out to what he thought was one of his team-mates, but the ball rolled out of play because rather than being a Posh player, it was a stadium steward.
You can see how, given The Posh away kit, he got confused...

It's not the first time Peterborough's kit has got them into a spot of bother. Their bunny mascot got a ticking off in the Bolton match too last week...

A former youth worker in St Neots is calling for more work to be done to help reduce anti-social behaviour in the area.
In September, 86 such crimes - including drugs use - were recorded in all of St Neots, according to police.uk., external
Declan Tonks says there aren't enough services to help every young person and that parents need to take more responsibility.

Mr Tonks describes Loves Farm, the area he worked in for a year, as "one of the most challenging areas of youth deprivation" in the town.
