Can you identify a station from just a paving slab? Sadly, some people can

Considering the explosive vehicles sign was such an easy one, I'll continue on the road sign theme. This time, please find me a SV image with the below sign in sight. Again anywhere in the United Kingdom.

Find me the username of a forum member (excluding those who have used their first name as their forum title e.g. Sam, Iain, Jonny etc).

That has three exits (four if you count the petrol station).

As a non-driver I assumed that coming back the same way as you came was not an exit? So would a roundabout with only two exits be one that was basically in the middle of a straight road where you have an exit the way you came and a exit in front of you?

EDIT:

If the petrol station is a problem here is another roundabout with two exits (excl. the way you came) if that's acceptable? http://goo.gl/maps/uM3K5
