Magic Roundabout

in #esteem6 years ago (edited)

My other half tends to watch all sorts of videos related to science. So this morning he has shared this weird thing that exists in the UK - the Magis Roundabout!

So, what exactly is this Magic Roundabout? And why is it magic? See for yourselves!

The roundabout is situated in Swindon, UK and has been here since 1972[2]. It is complex and scary for many but nevertheless a great invention to see for yourselves!

Isn't it magical to watch if from the bird's view? Of course, for that, you would have to have a drone or watch the numerous videos on the youtube.

But imagine to pull into the roundabout with the five mini roundabouts and then another one in the middle that goes anti-clockwise! It does look like a kaleidoscope.

I have only ever crossed a double roundabout, where one mini roundabout leads to the other mini roundabout, which was rather unusual. All you need to do is be careful and follow the rules! Drive safe!

@rewards-pool where a small delegation can get you a big splash.

That looks terrifying! We have very few roundabouts in the States. That would make most US drivers head explode lol

I think it would make anyone explode 😅 You think it is the scariest roundabout?

I would not drive a car in a round like that :) I am curious about the statistics of possible accident there. I did not expect something like that in UK very unusual

I think statistics are pretty good because no one dares to enter it 😆! But for locals it is probably a piece of cake!

Use spend quite a bit of time in Swindon, its only magic if you survive going around it without hitting anyone lol

That would have been an amazing experience! I sound LOCO! 😏
