The Magic Roundabout is possibly an April Fool which nobody noticed, and actually got through the planning department.
I learned to drive in Swindon, so I'm cool with it, but it's fucking mental. All you need to remember is that its a ring of mini-roundabouts around a normal roundabout, except that the normal roundabout goes round the wrong way.
