Interestingly enough, in a fast growing northern suburb of
Indianapolis, traffic circles are becoming quite common in new road

keep the traffic flowing instead of sitting at a red light wasting
gasoline while absolutely no one is using the cross street.
When you think you have mastered roundabouts, have a look at my
favourite, the Magic Roundabout at Swindon:

That's amazing! I think I might have to go to Swindon just to see that.
I think there's a similar one in Hemel Hempstead....
