Ah yes, the Magic Roundabout... indelibly written in my memory, as my first encounter with it was on a freezing January morning in thick fog. I had no idea what on earth was going on.
The one at Hatton Cross is pretty good as well (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4679146,-0.4230654,172m/data=!3m1!1e3 https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@51.4679146,-0.4230654,172m/da...) especially since a traveller may come across it, jet-lagged, and having just picked up a hire car...
- christoph 10y agoThere's one close to me as well - not as complicated to drive on as you would think looking at it from the top - https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Hemel+Hempstead,+Hertfordshire/@51.7464173,-0.473929,185m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x487640d05cd71ac1:0xf0e07f1fcfdff2b2!8m2!3d51.753241!4d-0.448632 https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/Hemel+Hempstead,+Hertfor...
- DonaldFisk 10y agoI've been on the one in Hemel on my bicycle. There's also one in Colchester: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Roundabout_%28Colchester%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Roundabout_%28Colchester... In addition to magic roundabouts, Britain also has gyratory systems, which are like normal roundabouts, except much larger and possibly with buildings in the centre, reachable on foot via underpasses (which are called subways in England, just to confuse Glaswegians and New Yorkers). The most famous one is at Hanger Lane in London, which has a tube station in the middle.
