Interestingly enough, in a fast growing northern suburb of

proper traffic circle protocol, but hopefully this will ease out

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.

When I was in Swindon a couple of years ago for a football game at the
County Ground, I made the mistake of trying to cross the MR from the
Burger King on the far side. That was a nightmare...
