No more Burger King R/A
Hey QL folks!
Some of you may have noticed that our legendary Burger King roundabout or Markhiya roundabout is no more. It was an important landmark for many of us, especially when explaining directions.
However, Ashghal thought it would be best if they transformed the R/A into a signal intersection. Well, we saw that coming, since they are trying to get rid of all the roundabouts in the country they think are a nuisance.
Anyways, as of yesterday, Burger King R/A became Markhiya Intersection. It's sad, but I guess it had to be done.
So tell me what you think of the traffic situation now on that street? It should definitely be better, or so one would think.
I haven't gone that way yet, so haven't seen how the intersection looks myself. If you have got any pictures, it would be great if you can share them too.
Do you guys miss the Burger Kind roundabout?
Peace! Don't forget to share pictures :)

Haven't been yet, but the new Salwa road is awesome (when comparing it to how it used to be).
The new intersection opened yesterday..

Well, quite sad to hear that. Thanks for the info
but the Burger King is still there! ^_^ I passed-by the Markiya intersection last Thursday and it is still close for traffic.... agree that it was one of the nicest and greenest round about... very well maintained too...
