Dangerous crossing

The two roundabouts at the top and bottom of Triq Manuel Dimech, Qormi, have been modified (reduced in diameter) thus increasing the lanes from two to three.

Is this according to international standards?

Leaving Qormi from above the direction of the bridge and trying to cross over to the park-and-ride site and heading from Triq Manuel Dimech to Rabat via Żebbuġ entails very dangerously bypassing three lanes, considering that traffic approaching roundabouts have the right of way.

Can Transport Malta explain this precarious situation and, more importantly, take remedial action to avoid accidents?
