  •  Oppose Although this looks wonderful and I wish we had roundabouts like this where I live, I think this is extremely atypical of roundabout cycle lanes, which I'd guess are usually at-grade, as depicted in every other photo in Category:Roundabout cycle lanes. cmadler (talk) 18:04, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I see your point (and agree). As a matter of fact I am very much in doubt what to call "such a thing" in correct English? I asked a native English speaker prior to nomination what the correct term would be and the best suggestion was the stated scope. But I also agree with you, that this does not look like the most common type of roundabout cycle lane, as these are normally integrated with the roads for cars etc and in the same plane. Here the roundabout is placed in a lower plane connected with junctions under the ordinary road roundabout. I see more and more of these emerging in larger roundabouts in the outskirts of larger towns in Denmark these years, and I guess similar ones are likely to appear also in other countries where there is focus on safe infrastructure for bicycling, like the Netherlands and probably other countries as well. So maybe the scope is just not adequate? This image is the first of its kind of Commons it appears and illustrates "whatever it is to be called" well IMO, and thus VI material, provided a suitable scope. Any suggestions for a better, more differentiated scope? --Slaunger (talk) 06:55, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Perhaps the scope could be "Grade-separated bicycle roundabouts", "Grade-separated roundabout bicycle lanes", or something else similar? I think the key is to note that it is grade-separated from the roadway. cmadler (talk) 13:23, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • I think that is a very good suggestion to add "grade-separated" somehow in the scope. I did not know that term, but reading about it via your link, it seems adequate. Later, when I get a little more time, I will make a dedicated category for this, and adjust the scope accordingly. Thanks. --Slaunger (talk) 13:41, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
