A roundabout just 5 minutes walk from my house was officially 'the second most dangerous roundabout in the entire West Midlands' (in terms of number of accidents / number of injuries per year)!
As a result, they have just finished widening the roundabout to make it safer

Was that imagery taken before or after the widening?

Before. That photo was 2015. Widening took place just a few weeks ago

It would suck if Google took new imagery of it whilst it was in the middle of being widened.

It'd probably be safer if they put traffic lights in, as I can see that small mini roundabouts like that can see people darting/racing straight across them etc.
plus, switching the HPS lights to LED (and bringing them a bit lower, as they are stuck in the trees at the moment) would help illuminate the place and make it safer at night time.

Two years ago I saw a road junction that had five LPS lamps and one HPS lamp and when a new mini roundabout was added, those five lights were replaced with LED lamps.
