    I was living 100m from this roundabout when it was being built. They tried a number of designs before settling on this one. They would hold the traffic up at each entrance during the rush hour and then a bloke on a platform in the middle would blow a whistle and all the traffic would flood onto the roundabout. The most hair raising test I saw was when they tried just a small central island, acres of tarmac and zero marked lines. Drivers on the front row would accelerate hard to get across befire the traffic jam formed. Then they'd stop the traffic, let the chaos clear and do it again. That trial didn't last very long. It was named the Magic Roundabout because there was a popular kids TV show by that name on at the time and the wierdness seemed, well, wierd.
    For the nerds, there's another one at the eastern end of Heathrow Airport.

      @Per Sunn I'm an American that really likes roundabouts. In my area, they've been replacing the four way stop intersections with roundabouts so now a person doesn't have to stop. The cost is a little more room used, and I'm not sure how the property owners at the intersection feel about that since a bit of their property was taken. It might also be a detriment to the business owners at those corners in that someone might be less likely to stop at the business when they don't have to stop at the intersection.

      Americans are binary drivers. Intersection lights: Red means stop, green means go. If this simple rule isn't followed, you have a big problem.
      Roundabouts in uk are simpler: give way to cars joining from the right, join when there is a gap use your indicators to signal where you are coming off.
      Its not a skill its similar to using a revolving door in a hotel or department store, only you have more exits.

    Can you imagine an American trying to navigate this, they cannae even manage a regular roundabout. Recently some states have introduced roundabouts and the crash rate went up. Even calling them by a less intimidating name a "circle-a-round" did nothing to reduce crashes. Driving "counter-clockwise" only makes it all the more difficult.

    Ok, I've been staring at this for 5 minutes and I think I've got it. If you want to go to an exit that's left of where you're coming from, you move clockwise along the outer circle until you get to your exit. Technically I think you could get to all exits like that, treating it like a regular roundabout and ignoring the circle in the middle. But if you want to go to an exit that's right of where you're coming from you could also go through the mini circle at your entrance and onto the middle circle, move counterclockwise until you get to the mini circle by your exit and follow that to your actual exit.

    Can anyone tell me why this isn’t just a normal, 5-exit roundabout??

    • @TheByard
      @TheByard Před 2 lety +2

      Because roundabouts often get blocked by a single road entering or leaving, where the Magic ones have another way round cutting out having to go the long way round. In Vietnam if they want exit 3 they take the short and go the wrong way.

    What is the point of the inner circle? I think one circle can do the same thing. You still need to stop and give way.

      Yes but as others have said there is a "Keep Clear" sign directly in front and he wants to join the queue the other side . Although it doesn`t look right he is doing the right thing by holding back and allowing the traffic to his left to move through.

      The funny thing is, this roundabout actually has just about no rules. Some of the cars in this video may be "doing it wrong" but the reason why this thing works is because it relies on common sense. - Common sense not to crash into people. It is a cool throwback to the days of horses and no road rules, yet it works.
