it consists of one large roundabout, surrounded by six mini-roundabouts - one for each of the six original junctions. And how does that work, you might ask? Basically, each mini-roundabout is treated just like a normal roundabout, with the main roundabout acting as a sort of distraction. But the really distinguishing motif of this grand cosmic wheel of traffic is that you are perfectly entitled to turn right at any of the mini-roundabouts as well as turn left. This means you can quite easily find yourself driving anti-clockwise around the main roundabout. And let's not forget, clockwise and clockwise only is the rule of thumb for all other British roundabouts. As you might well imagine, this causes a lot of confusion.

  • BH don't know how we got out alive - last night was my first encounter with this 'gyratory system' after last visit to HH in the nineties . . . lol

  • @bill53uk Why dont you marry the roundabout as it is obvious that you have an attraction for it

  • holy **** my car at 0:16 that red one

  • Your kids get to have great days out

  • genius

  • Ive been roundabout since it first opened in 1974 and there is NOT 8 roundabouts, there are only six. The one in the middle is NOT aroundabout......... I repeat NOt aroundabout, its an island, Imagine straighting them out on a straight road, all you do is take them one at a time, giving way to the right all the time and you cant go wrong. The is nothing wrong with our roundabout if you know how to use it correctly..... PLEASE DON'T DISS OUR ROUNDABOUT its been here for a long time.

  • the real name is hot mess roundabout

  • It's not called the Magic Roundabout, the official name is The Plough Roundabout
