Queen's Square is a roundabout junction to the northeast of Cannock town centre on the A34, where the A4601 diverges towards Rugeley.
All directions at the roundabout have dedicated left turn lanes, meaning that the circulatory carriageway is used exclusively for right-turning traffic.
The original Queen's Square appears to have been a community square at the junction of Church Street, Market Hall Road and All Port Road, with Queen's Hall standing next to it. The space in the middle was turned into a car park in the 1960s.
The A34 Mill Street dual carriageway was built in the 1970s, and this junction was turned into a roundabout. At the time it fed into College Road: Ringway didn't arrive until later, and Church Street was upgraded to dual carriageway after that.
