when i saw those pics all i could was whisper, "whoa."

I've seen a roundabout for four roads in NE Maryland (in Elkton), and all I could think was "Why couldnt they have just done a four-way intersection with stop signs?"

That magic roundabout idea is brilliant, really. It's a fantastic way of quickly handling traffic coming from five directions.

I'd probably die within seconds though. Imagine running into one of them, unsuspecting...

Blimey. If you hadn't been warned about it in advance I bet you would come to grief the first time you say that.

Is it just me, or could you go round it either way? Eg you could go to the left, doing one mini-roundabout at a time until you got to the exit you wanted, or you could go to the right, through the magic contrarotating central roundabout of death, emerging on the mini-roundabout of your chosen exit?

it seems quite logical and easy to follow to me from a bird's eye view, but I bet it's far more difficult to drive through, especially for foreigners.
