Coppins Bridge Roundabout is the name of a partially traffic signal controlled Gyratory system in Newport on the Isle of Wight. It is often seen by Island residents as the cause of delays in journeys crossing Newport, and there are frequent calls from members of the public to remove the traffic lights controlling most of the entrance/exit roads [1].

One set of traffic lights, between the roundabout and East Street/South Street, has been removed in recent years, replaced by the standard 'give way to traffic on roundabout' markings.
