[BITList] In 2009 it was voted the fourth scariest junction in Britain

[John Feltham]

Most Confusing Roundabout in the World, Magic Roundabout – Swindon , UK



The Magic Roundabout in Swindon , England was constructed in 1972 and consists of five mini-roundabouts arranged in a circle. In 2009 it was voted the fourth scariest junction in Britain , in a poll by Britannia Rescue. To be fair, once understood this intersection is amazingly functional and actually designed to reduce overall congestion. However, it is certainly an urban wonder and highly perplexing to the uninitiated.

OK. So how does it work?
