Yeah I scoped it out also if you look up a few posts there was a news article about it. Threw me back and I sincerely apologize to robmichelle
Cheers Jim

Shirley the road markings at the "Give Way" should be straight? Just sayin'.

I know, I know, "Don't call me Shirley"

Apologies excepted or accepted lol bo matter which way it will be wrong
I use more windex on the inside of my windscreen of my log truck due to last minute jumping on brakes due to peoples lack of understanding of the roundabout laws but that's trucking 🤯

Apparently it has been working well since 1972.

There's at least one more of those in the UK, Hemel Hempstead or Milton Keynes (something double barreled anyway!)

Is that a model set up or are the cars Photoshopped on? There's an E type Jag, AC Cobra, lots of original minis, a couple of swb landies, including what looks like a S1. Can't all be out in Swindon on the same day
Edit: maybe it is real, at second glance there's a few hi-viz types and a crowd so maybe it was a classic car event??

If you look at the lines on the road, none of them are in their correct lanes really. I reckon your on the money with an event

There was a historic meet set up for the roundabouts birthday(maybe 50th or 60th or whatever).

Search the roundabout name on Youtube to see the actual vid. The image linked too appears to be a grabshot.

Here is one video of the magic Roundabout in action

I've always tried to avoid those 'funny' places on their roads.

Since '72 the drivers would have been well educated in how to handle those Spaghetti Junctions & would not want to be the one that stuffed it all up at peak hour with severe consequences.

How embarrassing!


Adelaide's infamous Britannia Corner (only 5 roads merging) is only now at long last beginning to appear as though it may at last work, but it has taken many years & many alterations & ideas as well as many 44gallons drums of sand. to get this far. Cost? Billions I should think.

Again, I try to avoid it like the plague & use a couple of back streets. It may take a bit longer but I feel I will get to where I want to be., Safely.

As usual there is always some clever bastard trying to take the ***s.
