DRIFTER_016 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 This intersection is friggin' insane!!!!! The most confusing road in the world Magic Roundabout, Swindon, England England loves its roundabouts, that’s no secret. They invented the Mini just for hooning around the things. Sometimes the Brits can get a little carried away with their own cleverness though. This nightmare consists of five smaller clockwise roundabouts with an anticlockwise roundabout in the centre. Imagine if they tried this in Canada, you’d just have mayhem, honking, cars moving in every direction. Apparently the trick to navigating these is just to hold your breath, floor it, and hope you come out the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranks bait Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I'm getting dizzy just looking at that. I'm nervous enough pulling my trailer here in town with all the idiots, I don't think my heart or head could handle driving that even without?

dave524 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 How many remember the old QEW / HWY #20 traffic circle? same idea but not quite as insane. Or even stoplights on the QEW Niagara ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Actually it works very well. The fundamental problem we have here in NA is that our cojones are too big and we resent yielding to traffic that has the right of way. Take 5 mins and study it and it will all make sense. Remember you are driving on the opposite side of the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I've travelled around and seen a lot, but nothing compares to the chaos I encountered on the roads when I lived in Manila. Locals drove wherever there was an opening...wrong side of the road, sidewalks, anything was game. Stop signs, lights, etc. were nothing more than a suggestion. Traffic was so congested at times in the city center they actually had entertainers performing at traffic lights to try and ease the tension. Filipinas wearing white suits with giant foam fingers dancing around and gesturing ala Steve Martin. Pretty comical actually. I'm very thankful to live where I do. People complain about the QEW, but in comparison it's not that bad. That traffic circle looks like a piece of cake LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
