As an American I can confirm my heart almost stopped when I saw that “Magic Roundabout in Swindon”
Try going through it on a pushbike.
I had to every day to get to college.
@@thobu6576 You're not meant to use the roundabouts on a pushbike, there are bike lanes all around it with crossing lights (well there are now, there might not have been when you were at college)
It's pretty simple, it's just like five roundabouts in a row with dual carriageway roads linking them, there are a couple more of them in the UK (I live a few miles from one in Colchester) and they work fairly well.
Yeah I'm British and I have to agree, it looks like utter chaos
@@ChuckFickens1972 there certainly weren't any cycle lanes through it when I was at college nearly 20 years ago.
We alway wondered why the aliens were making crop circles. There were planning their city layouts.

11:46 Matt out here forgetting that most of Europe is right-hand driving AND using roundabouts lol
For people from the UK and the US these two countries are the only actual places in existence. Can't ask one of them to wrap their heads around other places existing.
@@goldminer754 of course we in the UK are aware of other countries existing. I'd assume most of our American cousins are too.
This! Literally, the world capital of roundabout is France (almost twice more roundabout per capita than the UK) and after the UK (2nd), it's Italy, Spain and Brazil, all right hand driving.
I was gonna say as a RHDer in the US… the uk is rhd and the us is lhd Matt 😅😅 that was a slip of the brain
@@rafidogyeah and france is over double the size so if you look at it for size the uk would have more roundabouts
That was the best explanation of the magic roundabout I've ever seen. I actually understand it now.
It really helps because in your version you can see grass in between the roads. The real one is all asphalt and much harder to see what's happening.
yes, and also the dragging of one way streets from point to point helps visualizing somehow I think
As a German I have to stand by my American constituents and say that is the most confusing roundabout I have ever seen in my life
As another German, I second this.
Then come to Belgium and the Netherlands and use our turboroundabouts where we add light into the magic roundabout 😅
@@w.reincke4568They are not as confusing as this Swindon monstrosity 😁
got 2 lane roundabouts with traffic litght too... + 2 lanes of coming in and out. people are to stupid to just stay in their line and watcht the signs which explains easily what to do... @@w.reincke4568
Its more easier to navigate while on the road
I would love to see a "super roundabaut" wich consists of more magic roundabouts linked together.

Fun round-a-bout story for yah.

It took 7 years for the tire tracks to properly go
He's since passed but the tire tracks were still there long after he died
The round-a-bouts never forget
Just a heads up... Roundabouts are actually becoming more common in America.
Where I live in Colorado almost every town within 100 miles has at least one roundabout.
My hometown of
America is adding them where they make sense. But they do not make sense in all places. Europe will always have more roundabouts per square mile because of population densities, how many people drive there, and length of travel.
"If you do drive right hand drive, you probably dont know what a roundabout is"
The entirety of middle europe: "Are we a joke to you?!"
not just middle...
There are tens of thousands of roundabouts in the US. British people are just ignorant.
Also there are lots of roundabouts in America too.
I mean he is correct, if you do drive right hand drive, you PROBABLY don't know what a roundabout is.
Literally the same comment i just wanted to make

I like how, not even as a joke, Matt genuinely thinks it's fine to just create a canal full of shit. That's a pure engineer mindset right there.
Welcome to Los Angeles, CA where planning and zoning are seldom considered.
Today was my first day being an engineer at my work place. Took me six months to get into this department. So it was a great day and looking forward to more engineering tomorrow!
Remember folks, that roundabouts are the bestabouts! On a very unrelated note, I now need a barf bag.

I’d refuse to even go near that magic roundabout 😂

I'm an American and let me put it this way: if there's nothing but grass in the middle of the roundabout, it will also have tire tracks from people driving straight across.
This reminds us that always level your land before making massive set of roundabouts.
I'm wondering how annoyed RCE will be once he finally finds out how much easier it is to use the continuous road tool to make roundabouts a lot easier.
If other game series videos are any indication, he won't learn about that for at least a solid year or so :P
One of the flaws of roundabouts is that you always have to slow down, yield and turn, even if you’re going straight. With low traffic in my town you can go from one side to the other at 40 mph without ever stopping or turning much, great on mpg, brakes and tire wear. Also at a stoplight you don’t need to yield and constantly try to slip into traffic, just wait til it turns green
Yeah, intersections have their place in engineering. He's just being comedic.
That is not a flaw, slower traffic is safer in a residential area. It is why roundabouts are a bad idea for a highway, but they are great for any city application.
@@CZProtton the main drag I’m talking about is all commercial not residential
@@capitalironic commercial as in factories and warehouses or as in shops and restaurants? Because shops and restaurants should be built walkable anyway, with a lot of foot traffic around, therefore slower vehicles are beneficial. That would require America to stop building huge parking lots everywhere, though.
@@CZProtton Slower traffic is safer for car traffic. But roundabouts are more dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians.
Matt thinking there isn’t roundabouts in the US is always funny to me. There a whole street in my city where all intersections were destroyed and they replaced about 8 of them with roundabouts and it saves about 15 minutes driving down that road now.
thats just an exception there really arent many roundabouts in the us
I wish my city had roundabouts. There's this intersection where there's a bunch of traffic from many places, including a middle school. It's always so annoying, traffic gets backed up over the hill and, in rare but still scenarios I've been in, traffic gets backed up from the school TO THE SIDEWALK ON THE INTERSECTION. Istg if there was a roundabout there, most issues would be fixed. Luckily they're rebuilding the school in another plot, so traffic won't back up so much, but that plot is downtown. Interested to see how that works out.
In my city, I think there are MAYBE 4 roundabouts. In the whole city. I kind wish there were more cuz i quite like them, but i think most areas are too high traffic for them (4 lane or 6 lane roads going into roundabouts are not pretty)
Americans wouldn't understand how to use them because of the poor education system...
So they'd blast each other with guns when they get frustrated because of the second amendment...
Then they'd go bankrupt paying for their medical bills because of the ludicrous healthcare system...
NYC has 3 of them on the corners of Central Park lol
11:49 You've convinced me. I'm gonna march on city hall and tell 'em RCE says this town needs some big round-a-butts!
You'll never see traffic again if its a full city redesign its hard to make roundabouts work to full efficiency with traffic lights in the area
I have to correct you! I live in right side driving USA and we do have (some) roundabouts! I grew up on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, and next to my town was the town of Orleans, that had a roundabout we called the Rotary, and then at the bridges over the Cape Cod Canal, there were also roundabouts. And that's just where I grew up! I saw 3 of them! And be honest, I've been to London, and you got some 4 way intersections in town with a little bump of concrete in the middle about 4 inches across like a little dome in the pavement, and while TECHNICALLY you drive around it, it's only a token roundabout :)
I'm from Denmark, and I know of the magic roundabout. My dad loves that thing. Not sure he's ever been on it though. You might find it interesting that there's only 1 architect drawn city in Denmark (at least to my knowledge) Kølvrå. It's designed to make pedestrian life easier, by only making T-crosses. This should apparently make it safer for kids to walk to school and keep cars semi slow. That's what I've been told at least.

@@jc_art_ Because an architect's dream is often an engineer's nightmare (mostly because of the math involved).
@@inventor121 but he doesnt do any engineering on his channel, so it seems pointless.
@@jc_art_ From what i've seen , there is a kind of rivalry between architects and engineers. In fact, I'm convinced matt is a real civil engineer because he hates architects
@@inventor121 The problem is more when the maths says it can't be done and the architect still ask you to find a solution.
imagine having to get your driver's license in this city
On the other hand: you could never run a red light and potentially lose it again
@@derAtze Not true, the silly geezer had a bunch of traffic lights with his roundabouts on the medium roads.
I don’t have to, I’m a learner and have driven on it, the secret is it’s actually not that bad
Well, at least you'll know how to navigate roundabouts.
So you basically made a « *_Cities Slylines 2 : Welcome in France Edition_* ». Good job
As am American, I'm really coming round to roundabouts. 'They' have done a decent job deciding where we need new ones and the traffic has lessened a lot in those areas. I'm especially impressed when they do well as a means to get on the highway.
I am in the US and I like roundabouts when they're necessary, my issue is people freak out in them. Go in, yield to other cars, go around. It is not hard, but other people make it so annoying. My chat in cities skylines often jokes about fixing traffic with roundabouts and I feel like this is what they really want from me xD
I live near 2 roundabouts and like them. 1 is basically useless (maybe just to ensure traffic stays slow?) as it's just in the middle of a 2 lane road. The other connects 5 roads together with technically enough room for a 6th that branches off the NE road just barely after the roundabout, all while having this thing that looks like it needs more room to do what it does! North end of Oviedo Blvd, FL for the curious.
I hope that by “yielding” you don’t mean you stop in the roundabout to let other cars enter
No, you yield before you enter a roundabout, once in you have priority....
@@zecuse "I live near 2 roundabouts" is such weird thing to see as a Dutchman. I live in a small town (50k-ish people) and in the square mile around me there are at least 4. There are probably a dozen littered about the entire town.
@@ricardoh.1575 Ya. America really doesn't like them. Honestly, I hate having to stop all the time and for as long as I have to at some of the stoplights I have to go through.
the magic roundabout in swindon still needs a tad bit of more engineering though, it turned into chaos a few times
It's just too small. They should have appropriated more land for the project and encircled some properties.
@@charliekahn4205 Wrong. They should have terminated one of those roads and put in a light like sane city developers would.
im suprised you can make the magic roundabout so easily. Well done! I hereby grant you the title 'The Rotund Lord of Bestagon' (I saw the magic roundabout in a top ten video yesterday for the first time and was suprised when your vid popped in my feed, seeing as i watch you so much and this had always been here for months).
In Cities Skylines 1 I built a city out of multiple concentric circles. The circles alternated which way round they went, and had a cross-shape of straight roads connecting the circles (including to each other). Then I set up buses - routes around each circle, and along the straight roads. Traffic was pretty chill.
An architect would love this city, the art that those circles created is beautiful (Im an architecture student, and yes, i love this channel)

we never can be friends!
Ah. The Magic Roundabout. A great piece of *architecture* from Swindon.
As a French, we do love our roundabouts. In the City of Nantes, you even have roundabout leading to another one, leading to a third one.
I'm not confused by roundabouts, now adding left hand driving on them; that turned my brain into milkshake when you were explaining
From the USA and we do have roundabouts, even out in more rural towns... at least mine does, starting to build more too... and man, love a good roundabout. Much MUCH better than traffic lights usually!
The only downside to roundabouts in America are American drivers
The roundabouts in the us are slightly different, there’s a video by Evan Edinger explaining it
@@Tm-dn9ob shows it different? You yield in go right until you get to the road you need and turn out... only diff is right or left depending on side of road you drive.... yea there they also keep the middle free of anything for lorries but... I wouldn't say that warrants calling them diff....
@@christopherjunkins there’s also different angles of entry and priority’s and speed - I’m speaking from memory and different states have different rules so…
They only work in areas of high enough intersection density and low enough traffic density, and very little cyclist and pedestrian traffic. Used in the wrong place and they make things worse. Europeans naively assume that American infrastructure and population densities are similar to Europe, but it's a very different country and so what works is going to be different.
I like roundabouts.. but the Swindon roundabout gives me the heebie jeebies.
19:13 That right there, is one of the primary reason we Americans hate roundabouts. Because you need to slow down, where as on overpasses and green stoplights you can maintain your speed. (among other reasons like the general public not understanding how they're meant to function)
"I think you're in roundabout range, you may get destroyed" - Real Civil Engineer, 2023
I am an American and this video changed my mind
I used to always say "I love roundabouts" and "Roundabouts are my favorite to go around because there's no traffic"
Now I think that roundabouts suck. Truck drivers aren't making it anywhere on your roads, and there was a huge roundabout, where if you lived at the end of it, you have to drive all the way around just to get home.
They make sense only if there is a small enough amount of traffic, and there are enough intersections close together that a driver would have to stop many times. With more traffic or fewer intersections, they are worse. Roundabouts are also much more deadly for cyclists and pedestrians.
"how am I a tiny village with only one person?"
I could swear you've had this happen to you before. It's based on the exp. you gain, which can be increased by building structures and roads
Well, you just built Viseu here in Portugal. It's a relatively small city - about 100K people, but we have over 700 roundabouts here. We are known as "the city of roundabouts" 😆
I'm American and there are a ton of roundabouts where I live. However, when all the out of town people come in, they don't know what to do so they just stop in the middle. Or, some people aren't brave enough and sit there for ever!
Now i think RCE is secretly french, he love the roundcabout and the liberty units
With all the roundabouts you're more recreating Milton Keynes than you are Swindon
On his patreon series he created another city inspired by milton keynes
MK is such a weiiiiird place
Great job at recreating the 17th century London sewer system in a town that is simultaneously incredibly british, incredibly dutch and incredibly american.
I will never not be roasting Carmel, Indiana by saying this is just Carmel, Indiana. My dad INSISTED on finding a speedway in that town after a 3 hour drive to my surgeon's office and it was roundabout HELL. Every intersection was a roundabout or some abomination peanut roundabout. We got so lost
In Canada we often have those cul de sac roundabout, often in low density residential areas with houses built around, quite convenient you don't have to U-turn 😂
Imagine U-turning in those long ass trucks.
my mom lives in one of those.. guests have 3 parking spots in the street in total. hahajah
Round de sac!
Just a literal nightmare for pedestrians. :D
And cyclists. Roundabouts are the most dangerous roadways for cyclists.
Here in America, a lot of cities have been converting large intersections into roundabouts within the last 5 or 10 years. I've always loved roundabouts, they're so fast and fun to drive through. The only thing that drives me bonkers is when people misunderstand the right-of-way, and stop in the roundabout to let you in, or cut you off because they think that the person in the roundabout has to stop. Comparing to the before and after of the several consecutive intersections of various cities that have been converted to roundabouts, I can indeed confirm thay they dramatically cut down on traffic jams.
And some roundabouts are being converted back to traffic lights. They are not the right solution to every problem.
@fakecubed No, definitely not. A lot of our infrastructure is not conducive for roundabouts, unfortunately.
Six Corners in Chicago fixed the problem properly. We have roundabouts elsewhere. They're called Suicide Circles. For a damn good reason.
pretty sure theres potential for a drinking game everytime Matt says "Roundabout"
I'd rather not die, lol.
@@torgranael smoke weed instead 🤣
I would actualyl love to watch an entire playtrough with the Hexagon layout tbh
Driving in circles all the time will be an amazing experience. I can already see the potential to destroy the cars.
Roundabouts are fine, but they get congested during rush hour. Some cities have time of day directional lane changes for asymmetrical traffic patterns. I.e. 3 of 4 lanes open toward downtown in the morning, and 3 of 4 lanes open heading out of the city for evening rush hour.
They get really bad any time there is a lot of traffic, or the traffic is unbalanced between entries. They're also murder if you have cyclists and pedestrians.
As a non American I am deeply offended by you assuming that we right hand drivers don't know what a roundabout is. We Germans take great pride in in our roundabouts.
RCE has made the Magic Roundabout easier to understand than anyone else I've ever asked
As an Englishman, I can confirm that this is 95% of our roads. We legit have roundabouts that only have two exits in some parts of the country... Could have just been a simple turn, but we decided to make it a circle instead
Roundabouts are the best; absolutely no stopsigns. You can design an ENTIRE CITY without stop signs thanks to roundabouts.
My city is designed this way
A few weeks ago I thought that it would be interesting if someone would have made a video where every road was a roundabout and I’ve seen this and I was very excited to click on this video.
Cara also made a similar one earlier this year I think.
@@Notmyname1593 I’ll check it out.
I saw this comment and it looked interesting so I clicked on this comment and read it.
YAY! Finally get to see the challenge I've wanted to see in Cities Skyline
there is one "roundabout" in my neighborhood that is
- more of an egg shape than a full circle
- incredibly deadly
- they had to build a SECOND station for a train to simply cross over to the actual station that was too hard to reach by foot (across one street from mini-station)
- has a cool statue/memorial park. IN THE CENTER.
- doesn't even properly loop streets
- nobody knows where the lanes are, they phase in and out of existence. you CANNOT tell what lane you will end up in
- the lanes go both ways
so no, I do not think the US is ready for roundabouts...
For anyone concerned for how difficult the magic roundabout would be on a driving test, the test centre is slightly too far away for the roundabout to be included on the test route
Yeah, that's just Swindon.
And the magic roundabout is much less intimidating when you don't overthink it.
That city actually looks beautiful. If Matt designed a city like this for real, I'd be moving there.
roundabouts aren't super common in Canada but as soon as I took a moment to actually think about the magic roundabout I realized it actually makes a lot of sense. that being said, i would cry if i had to drive on it
It might have something to do with maintenance costs in Canada. Your weather tends to be harsher on your riads. Also, fewer bends with icy roads is wise
The Magic Roundabout causes panic for so many people. I use it a couple of times per week and you can tell who the tourists are 😂
We have roundabouts in America... they tend to slow traffic and cause lots of accidents. Mostly because we don't have the city structures for them to work. Circlar roads work great we call them ring roads and they are highways that circle a large city. Usually multiple of them, if the city isn't too old and built before the consept, they work great... if the traffic controllers have set up the lights correctly in the city. But since everyone argues over safety, the lights are typically set up to slow traffic and cause massive problems with back ups. Were traffic circles could work. But this didn't really prove any point you have. Best data would be finding areas in England with roundabouts and their speed limits, then finding areas with same densities and limits in areas here and look at data trends. Otherwise, this idea, like multiple times, I've heard speculation. I've heard this argument hundreds of times. But I can travel 4 times the distance in my state in a very dense area that has a higher population than the northern area of england and travel thatbin the same amount of time. So again, the data would need more similarity to truly compare anything for proper analysis. But no one will ever donit properly.

I'm glad i wasn't the only one who was thinking about that
American here...I understand HOW that roundabout works...but looking at it makes my head hurt.😵💫
Me too I understand the use but I don’t like it
@@AndrewDavis-mj8rj why? Its faster, its safer, its easier. Its literally better in every way compared to a street light.
@@CZProtton They're talking about the magic roundabout, not roundabouts in general.
So I did an interesting one way grid pattern that might actually be more cursed than this. It uses the same logic people use to justify the "statistical safety" of roundabouts and double diamond intersections in that it absolutely minimizes potential "intersection conflicts". Basically, it's an alternating grid of one way roads that enter each intersection facing each other and then has 2 one way exit roads leaving 90 degrees on either side... which lead into identical intersections just like it. Assuming you are using 2 lane 1 way roads for the entire grid, the only time that cars can get in each other's way is when they are changing lanes to make the next left or right hand turn. It's statistically the safest possible tile-able intersection and is made from the most annoying aspects of both interlocking roundabouts and one way grid roads because it's basically a grid of interlocking "square abouts".
There are many roundabouts in the US. They're becoming popular. The issue is that not many people know how to use them efficiently, and they can be rather dangerous. Where I live, speed isn't strongly enforced in the slower parts of town, so people tend to go too fast, and follow too close, making it near impossible to enter the roundabout, much less change lanes to reach your destination. It ends up clogging traffic.
My dear engineer friend 😂 how many countrys have left Hand driving compared to right Hand?
64, according to google.
Matt is an AI Architect in disguise.
19:30 you can see just a pile up of traffic on his road of roundabouts as he’s talking about how good the traffic is 🤣
Juuuust a few things to help out >_<
Sewage doesn't need a road, just connection from underground works
To build the perfect circle use the last road rotaty button (sorry not slept for 2 days), you do not need to do maths then... Instead you just snap at exactly 90* for both sides of the road and it will be perfect for you.... I had to build a lot of large roundabouts in my map as I had waaaaay too much traffic and the ones you can get are not the best.
Also when you get road maintenance you can remove the traffic lights to make them smooth as butter, just annoying you cannot put a stop sign for just 1 road, it has to go on all connecting roads... Sometimes the cars can go a lil manic causing backup when they try to get in the right lanes.
Oh also, use 3 lanes, and do your best to get the extra lane to be the exit lane, it's hard to do but if done right you can stop a lot of traffic from building up as the cars decide they want to go left but stay in the second lane waiting to turn, and the guys on the left are just wanting to continue on the roundabout. I'd say it's stupid game logic but in a sense, that is exactly how a lot of idiot drivers are.
The test isn’t hard
The Test 4:50
Is anyone gonna tell him that an "American" interstate highway interchange isn't the same as a city interchange? Or that the US has tons of roundabouts?
I don't know about tons, but we're getting there. Even saw one in Georgia once on an overpass.
There are about 9000 roundabouts in the us and in the uk there are about 25000 roundabouts in the uk 😬
I’ve dealt with 5 in California so far, been driving for 10 years 😂 I’m in SoCal. Only the fancy neighborhoods throw one in to confuse us. Outside of that I saw one in Arizona. All I know is, if I dealt with the Swindon one I would just burn my license.
@@millygd955 First of all... there are about 13,000 roundabouts in the US. That google search result that says 9,000 is from a year ago and isn't including all roundabouts. Second, we only had about 3,700 ten years ago. So... yeah, it's turning into a thing.
@@millygd955 The UK is a lot more dense than the US. When people are packed in with a ton of intersections, but the population isn't that high overall, roundabouts make a lot of sense. In a very low density country with the occasional very high population city, they make very little sense.
If that's what you want to do...then you're doing it wrong.
What you do, is make a tesselated rhombitrihexagonal layout. Then make all the roads one-way, counter-clockwise for right-side driving, and clockwise for left-side driving. That way there are no left turns, and every "circle" formed by the pattern is a roundabout by default. If you incorporate road-hierarchy into it, and so long as the segments are big enough in the first place, it should work pretty well. I've never had any trouble, anyway. It's a pain to get started, but once you've got the first complete section done, expanding on it is relatively easy.
Roundabouts are great in theory, but driving in them is just a ball of anxiety especially when you don’t know the area and there’s a lot of traffic
As an American, I'm terrified.
Mortified
Horrified

Yeeeah
Hi
It's giving Canberra, Australia. Known by Aussies for its roundabouts, and forgotten by foreigners as the capital.
11:46 I live in a Spanish island called Gran Canaria. I made a meme about " I'll meet you at the roundabout" and there are 10 arrows pointing at roundabouts in a small neighborhood.
Siete Palmas Motorway Junction. Pure... engineering, I guess, with stacked roundabouts?
Biblically accurate roundabouts. 👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️
AMERICANS! BE NOT AFRAID! WE ARE SAFE AND EASY TO NAVIGATE!
This could theoretically be an advantage to road safety, as there are less rules. In space it could be scaled to 3d living domes or something
Roundabouts are fairly common in suburban/rural America; mostly when you get nearer to an interstate highway. That being said, would love to see Matt build a bridge in 7Days to Die seeing as that game uses mass as a building mechanic.
They only work with a certain level of intersection density and traffic density. Stray too far in one direction or another with either, and roundabouts become worse than traffic lights.
RCE - please make a city that’s a roundabout inside a slightly bigger roundabout inside an even larger roundabout inside another huge roundabout until you get to a massive, map sized roundabout. It’ll be the ultimate perfect roundabout!
do british people not realize america also has a bunch of roundabouts? they’re everywhere near me 😭
That can't possibly be true, otherwise you wouldn't be crying and you would have a huge smile on your face, spreading all the roundabout goodness 😄

FFOTD: The storages in the game are the Container and the Vault, the Container need 100 titanium to build, and has 220 hp, its 2 by 2 blocks, and has a storage of 300 items, the Vault needs 250 titanium and 125 thorium to build, has 495 hp, its 3 by 3, and storage of 1000 items. You can place both the Container and the Vault next to the core to increase the storage of the core.
Day 3 of asking you to not ask him to play that game
@@MayonnaiseOnATablewhy?
@@themiteam5217 it's just repetitive idk
Day 6 of telling you that Mindustry is not that great of a game
keep it going
Just to inform yous, as a Geraman I can tell you, thart we know roundabouts very good. Actually the village I life in has a Roundabout as its centre. BUt I love your videos keep it up!
The Magic Roundabout was a favourite story of my driving instructor. He used to teach lorry certifications in Swindon, and that was infamously part of the route, because absolutely *no one* knows the correct way to navigate it.
Roundabouts are great. Roundabouts with contra flow traffic are a Garden City (post war cities built to accommodate the London commuter populace and later growth in the south) abomination.
But there no wrong way to navigate it, it works in both directions
The maximum like i got on a comment was 133 🙂
I hate these types of comments
🙂
133 is quite good
Yeaaaa
You must be an architect
I'm American and I WISH we had more roundabouts here as I know for a fact they are WAY better than a 4 way stop
There are many cases when they are not better, and actually worse. Roundabouts are not some one-size-fits-all solution. They have specific uses.
If you like roundabout cities, check out Canberra in Australia! They even have a hexagonal roundabout around a round roundabout...
OMG I believe this may be the first Skylines video Matt made without even a mention of the strongest shape. He always finds a way to fit it in there.
We do drive on the right here in Iceland and we do love our roundabouts, they don't go over 2 lanes and everyone on the inside of the roundabout has the right of way over those on the outside, you always have to stay on the lookout for someone exiting from the inside as changing lanes in a roundabout is forbidden by law. Then you are not allowed to go out of a roundabout onto an inner lane as that is considered changing lanes inside a roundabout, so you have to change lanes after you've exited the roundabout
The magic roundabout is a good example of "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." Geotechnical engineer here btw.
With grass between the various roundabouts it's actually far easier to understand. The real one being a giant slab of asphalt with some painted lines that don't connect as the only means of direction is what makes it scary.
As an American that visited the UK this past summer and drove in the area of Swindon, I'm sad I didn't take the family on an adventure to the Magic Roundabout. Although, the double roundabout in Marlborough was quite an adventure. Had to drive through it 3 times since I kept taking the wrong exit.
