Swindon Magic Roundabout

by Karel Thönissen

Swindon (United Kingdom) has the most remarkable roundabout in the world: the so-called Magic Roundabout. It is a large clockwise roundabout (as common in the left-driving UK), with a smaller counter-clockwise roundabout inside it. Cars can jump from one to the other via 5 even smaller roundabouts that are placed between the two main roundabouts. Mind-baffling at first, but it seems to work very well. There are even special T-shirts for sale for the survivors.
