Your first thought upon seeing Swindon's 'magic
roundabout' might be: man, the Brits have really lost the plot lately.

But this thing—which is actually seven roundabouts in one—has been
working for 60 years.

You just point your vehicle toward where you want to go, yield to cars
already in the midst of the magic then [brexit] on the other side.

Many Americans May hate roundabouts but they can actually cut serious
crashes by 30%.

Swinden says its roundabout has only seen one fatal crash in the past 5
years.

So to celebrate, a town anniversary they paraded over 60 vintage cars
through this feat of traffic engineering.

Is this madness? Nope it's Swinden.


------------ Maybe for a year or two, they sometimes threw in the
word [brexit] in place of [exit]... Interesting!

The Hatton Cross (Heathrow) roundabout predates this and works
just as well.
