I think I'd definitely come out of it needing quite a few panadols. Is this in the UK? If so, where in the UK?

My favorite roundabout - I have been over it many times. It is hilarious - full of panic stricken drivers who dont have a clue who has priority (including me).

The ONLY way to get across it is "Paris Style" - i.e. drive fast with the beief that YOU have right of way - always!

Been round it a few times. Ditto on the 'just go for it' attitude. For some reason there always appear to be learner drivers on it. Must be the sadistic instructors! .

There an even bigger, more dangerous one in Hemel Hempstead!

we do have roundabouts in the states but if we have one like that, i think they need to build a hospital around or have some paramedics stand by .

How about this Gravelly Hill Interchange (affectionately known as Spaghetti Junction) in Birmingham UK.
