The Magic Roundabout, Swindon: “
The new Kingston Gateway roundabout project reminded me of this amazing British feat of genius! It consists of 5 mini roundabouts circled around one big one! Amazing! It seems to work well which is pretty incredible.
I found a Canadian website that provides advice for tourists to the UK on how to tackle roundabouts! Its great! I was particularly amused by this: ‘The graphic below shows two possible routes to move from south to east. Tourists should follow the red path; keep in the Outer Circle all the way round and leave the yellow ‘Pro Driver Path’ to the locals, who have roundabouts in their blood and know where they are going. The amazing thing is that if you obey the dashed white GIVE WAY lines (Yield Points), it works, beautifully!’ Brilliant!!
