I was wondering why the majority of local roundabouts have got new names (i.e. Green Road is now Headington, Abingdon Road is now Kennington, Banbury Road is Cutteslowe and Woodstock Road is, I think, Wolvercote).

I can’t think this is to avoid confusion as I have been driving since 1965 and spent 25 years in the police and they were always obvious under their old names.
