When you think you have mastered roundabouts, have a look at my
favourite, the Magic Roundabout at Swindon:

I love that it's now _officially_ called The Magic Roundabout!
That's amazing! I think I might have to go to Swindon just to see that.
I had the misfortune to *see* the one in Colchester recently....
Hey, at least you haven't had to *cycle* across it on a regular basis ...
Actually, it's not that bad - the way it's laid out is a lot better than
in Swindon; there, it's one big expanse of tarmac with lines printed on it
a rather bizarre way (reminds me of the Nazca lines - AND SO CLEARLY BUILT
BY EXTRATERRESTRIALS IZERNTIT), whereas in Colchester, it's more like N
roundabouts connected by very short roads, so to a large extent, your
normal road sense handles it.
And apparently, it's officially called an Olympic Roundabout.
