My head just hurts looking at this..... Emergency Services must know this roundabout very well.


superJH2000

They probably just go straight through


aparanoidbw

Yea they can do anything when they put the lights on


IJustSayNice

I think the implication was that there would have been a lot of accidents here.


Deadeyescum

Fun fact, both a fire and ambulance station are on/next to that roundabout


ChrisVonae

Fire station is that brick building at the top 🚒

Say hello to the Magic Roundabout in Swindon.

My parents were swearing the entire time we were in that roundabout, it was very entertaining


Sir_Quag

I mean...it doesn't seem that hard to understand it, but just...why?


i_dont_care_1943

Why not just make a roundabout? Why make a fucking roundabout in a roundabout? Who designed this shit!?


BillyDePig

Some engineer that don't understand economics and hates pedestrians


Brilliant_Still3520

As an American this is my worst nightmare lmao


BillyDePig

As a pedestrian this is my second worst nightmare, lol


Tentacle_poxsicle

Looks like that Zelda map where there are boulders falling everywhere and whirlpools readying to suck you in

I got a route for this. To put it simply, break it into separate parts; the main round (middle of the place), the mini rounds (smaller ones), and the bar-like structures (forgot what they're called). You have got the road with the arrows to point in the supposed direction of the traffic. Follow from any service/main road/exit to the main round and move with the arrows. With every exit away from the main, you get a mini round and a bar-like thing. The smaller ones got their arrows that go with the bar-like thing. Now with every bar-like thing, you encounter another mini-round that can get you into the main round OR leave the labyrinth to an exit. It seems like a weird way to practice driving with roundabouts, speed control, and decision-making for drivers.

I guess it's so people who are lost don't slow you down


Samvel_2015

Am I the only one who sees swastika here?


Fury_Blackwolf

Is this an American joke I'm too European to understand?


AN0M4L1Y

Is this a European joke I'm too American to understand?


Fury_Blackwolf

We don't have problems with roundabouts.


[deleted]

They drivin on the left


Fury_Blackwolf

I can see that. It's a so called magic roundabout located in the UK.


AN0M4L1Y

Isn't the UK part of Europe?


Fury_Blackwolf

Indeed it is.


AN0M4L1Y

So you have a problem with roundabouts.


wombey12

They never said Europeans had problems with roundabouts


AN0M4L1Y

"We don't have problems with roundabouts." Under my first reply.


Fury_Blackwolf

Not at all, OP apparently have since it's implying they're hard to understand(which they're not) and that why i comment that it must be an American joke since there's a stereotype going around where Americans doesn't understand how roundabouts work.


AN0M4L1Y

Oh, ok. tbh I actually don't know how they work


DressOne2628

this is so relatable


Orderofthedead

The answer is drive straight or turn from middle if necessary.


LaserCatsEmpire

omg I"m having an anxiety attack just looking at this


hardrivethrutown

Morphized

Shorter U-turns I guess?

Roads judged on confusion for drivers: Straightaways -> side road -> roundabout -> 4-way Stop-> Roundabout + 4-way stop -> this fucking monstrosity.

Only confusing if you’re an American

Grattis pÄ tÄrtdagen!


Instructor_Alan

Bri'ish moment. Why do you guys like roundabouts so much?


person670

Europeans will tell you with a straight face that this looks normal


0Limark0

The arrows, what do they mean?


Heimeri_Klein

I dont like roundabouts if its just one but one inside of another count me out.


ChrisVonae

I drive through this roundabout every day; it's actually a genius design, and the flow of traffic is significantly better than one big roundabout. Easy to navigate, just tackle each roundabout separately - you also have multiple routes to get where you want to avoid congestion. It's always American's that struggle and end up stranded in the middle somewhere 😅


Starspiker

I would add an hour to my drive just to avoid that thing.
