Back in the 80’s, I had to make numerous business trips to Swindon England. Driving on the left took some time to get comfortable with. But there is one big intersection that was always a harrowing experience to get through. It is affectionately known by the locals as the “Magic Roundabout”. It’s one big roundabout interconnected with four smaller roundabouts. I used to dread having to go through it. Here’s an aerial shot of it:

If you think 'The Magic Roundabout' is bad, imagine you have just arrived in England, having landed at Heathrow airport. You pick up your rental car, and attempt to leave the airport. This is where the fun begins, there are 2 of these damned roundabouts for you to find your way around. This is the reason we always enter & leave the airport by the 'back way'
