Further To Richard's Efforts Of Understanding 'Boneabout' - North Mount Community Member!

In the last blog, North Mount Druitt community member, Richard provided explanations of what has been advised to him by representations of NSW Roads and Maritime Services use.

The new word both Richard and myself have been trying to research is 'Boneabout'. Nothing found in search engines including dictionary.com .

Explanation and diagram from Richard: 

Apparently, a “boneabout” refers to the shape and style of roundabout. I know, I’d never heard of it either and found no reference online to it, so it must just be a word that the NSW Roads Maritime Services uses to describe a particular style.

Basically, what it is is a roundabout shaped like a bone. It would contain both the Zoe Place roundabout and a new roundabout at Hythe Street. The way it was described to me was as such. Traffic driving south wanting to turn right into Hythe would need to continue on past Zoe Place and turn back there and left turn into Hythe. Traffic traveling north on Luxford, wanting to turn right into Zoe Place would need to continue traveling and turn back at Hythe Street, then turn left into Zoe. 

In case, excuse my bad sketching, but I drew you a rough diagram of what it would look like with traffic flow arrows:

 Actually for a rough diagram it is terrific!
