I've seen pictures, but never been there. I don't know why there aren't accidents every day. I wonder if anyone has ever got trapped in it, going round and round for days? How the **** do you work out how to get to your destination?

It's a bit of a joke. Apparently there's another one in Swinedon.

It's simple enough...just read the road signs. It's bizarre but no more
complicated than the equivalent with traffic lights in place of
mini-roundabouts.

I just read up on it, apparently the middle one goes the wrong way! I'd get to the first one, and know I had to take say the third exit. By the time I've negotiated that many mini roundabouts and give way lines, I'd forget where the hell I was! And trying to go the other way?!? If you want to take the last exit, you take a shortcut and go anticlockwise! ARGH!

It ain't rocket surgery....you just drive over the mini-roundabouts as

That one is huge. I meant the little one where you can actually see all the mini roundabouts at once, which would make things more confusing.

Ever seen a roundabout with one lane of tarmac, but a second "lane" of block paving (presumably to allow trucks to get round it)? Those things are silly, some people use it as two lanes and some as one. When you get both types on at once, all hell breaks loose.

It's actually much easier if you don't think of the central roundabout
as a roundabout.

I'd love to see a police chase round one. But you'd need to set up an orchestra playing the music from Benny Hill in the centre.
