    that last roundabout looks like an evil satanic symbol. (It is designed to be a sacrificial pit.)

    i guess knowing that you'll have to go through that magic (or do you need some kind of magic) roundabout might change the classic who's driving argument a little.

    Yeah... watch out, city planners have started to see the round-about as an appealing design here in the US. In Denver many of the new subdivisions have a round-about to the individual neighborhoods.

    Downtown Tusla just re-did all their streets and installed a giant roundabout at the central crossing point.

    "Grove Shafter Freeway"? That sounds vaguely sexual.

    roundabouts are a very good way of controling traffic, it allows the road with the most traffic to flow with the roads with less traffic to filter in


    Mary had a little lamb. It bumped into a pylon. Ten thousand volts went up its arse and turned its wool to nylon!

    I always loved this one:


    Found it while I was playing Test Drive Unlimited, and check to see if it was real.

    That last roundabout is a little silly. I don't see why they just didn't make a 3 or 4 lane roundabout. The mini ones around the center just slow people down from making a more direct route it seems.

    Yeah clover leafs are fun, my favorite is one here in Oklahoma City, it's a funky merger of 3 streets 2 highways and an interstate. The best is one of the overpasses goes up unbelieveably high as it is going over 5 overpasses...
