Wait until you see the magic roundabout in the UK. It's a "close your eyes, pray and hit the gas" type of place.

I've seen this so often before and I still don't understand why they didn't just build an ordinary roundabout. It's just six roads that meet there. That's not beyond ordinary roundabout capabilities. Who said "you know what, let's just do a circular arrangement of five roundabouts here, that's so much better than what people are used to"?

My money is on "the french love roundabouts so we're not doing that"

No one will ever be able to invade the UK, they'll get stuck in this horror.

It's really five regular roundabouts circling one central roundabout.

That roundabout needs a speaker constantly playing Entry of the Gladiators on repeat

People will unironically see this and proclaim that it's actually not that complicated...

Then you see the cars completely ignoring the sub-circles and driving over them or backwards to the arrows.

Left side driving should be illegal

It is in the most places on earth.

I drove through that one, not easy. I prefer the turbine design we use in Germany.
