Where did this INSANITY come from????????? And why is it tolerated?????? They even inflicted it upon us here in NW Montana, only to find that it is intolerable and folks wouldn't put up with it! one has already been removed and the other two are on the short list......Two problems NOT considered in the planning stage........one, eighteen wheelers that they wanted to bypass the downtown route.........two, snow plows, unable to negotiate the tight radius of said roundibout!!....literally destroyed the center island, many of which I have driven straight across in my 4X4 Dodge,5.9 litre cummins diesel, 3/4 ton behemoth...just because I can!!!! :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2::tongue-out::thumb2::thumb2:

Boooooiiiiiinnnnngggggg! Hello, said zebedeee…..

Can’t say the planners have no sense of humour, by the way…..it was originally called County Islands roundabout, but all the locals called it Magic roundabout right from the start, so in the 1980s it’s name was officially changed to match……

One of the comments:

"Wait this can't be America, they drive on the left side..."

"Oh..."

"Oh no..."

Can we try to get back on the right road please.
At the next roundabout leave by the same exit you entered the roundabout from.
This should get you back where you set off.

Did he cut his teeth on this one……first used in 1972…..

It’s worse than you think…….you don’t just go around the outside, you can drive through the middle….years ago I was on a road trip with some mates. The guy that was navigating just looked at me when we came up to this and said (in his best Blazing saddles impersonation) Son, yer on yer own….

They had the same in Hemel Hempstead, you came down the hill and there it was in front of you, cars going whichever way and not giving way to anyone.... The amount of cars and bike riders I nearly collected under the trailer....:smiling5:

The ONLY good roundabout....

True, that and the late Sir Terry Wogan 'Janet & John' stories, even had an order in the office - Do not call when Janet & John are on....

We only have a few here in Ohio. I love the four ways, they move traffic better than stop signs. Anything more complex will be a nightmare I think. The proposals I've seen for five & six points are crazy.

Clearly too intelligent to be a City Planner ... :thinking:

A totally new name to me - Magic Factory - their website https://www.magicfactory.ltd/#/home looks like it's just being set up. Scalemayes has a few products listed - most labelled as 'future'. Scalemates has them all as new tools & MF own production. The first release may be the 'Magic Factory F4U-1A/2 Corsair Dual Combo' in 1/48, but details are a bit sparse -
