I thought it was a photoshop, and it is not.

Well, I did notice something that looked a bit like charred corpse.

I like how they named it the "Magic" Roundabout. So magic is going to keep you safe?

What happens if you stop believing in the roundabout halfway through?

wolf · 08-16-2005, 01:20 PM

Oh, and one other thing ... I do NOT want to have to meet and/or deal with the demonic force that thing has been summoning. Sunwise and widdershins travel, with road rage added for extra special flavoring ...

Ceremonial magic is not for amateurs, especially not when you're dealing with something that takes 30+ years to cast ...

Especially cast in ashphalt, with officers to enforce it.........

Reminds me of the Illuminatus! explanation for the Pentagon...

They're a bit like crop circles I'm afraid - another one has turned up on London Heathrow Airport South Perimeter Road by the east exit..... on the same ley line as the Swindon Roundabout some 30 miles west, or so I am led to believe...

There's also 3 way stop jug handles which I encountered..

wolf · 08-17-2005, 12:18 PM

I see access to the jughandle somewhat differently, based on the shapes of the "exit ramps". The purpose is so only straight through traffic crosses the intersection.

Cyclefrance · 08-17-2005, 02:27 PM

OK so my double jug handle was a bit hard to follow, so here's a graphic (sorry it's an attachement but I haven't worked out how to import a picture yet!):

there is a return handle so that the motorist who mistakenly turned right when he didn't mean to has another handle to his left (placed a short way along after entering the first handle) which pemits him to return to the original highway but a little further on.......

And another to show how the Magic Roundabout 'works'

I have round-abouts in the neighborhood I just moved into and it's a brand new area. I don't get the idea as to why they think this is a good idea, I hate them.

This is a typical layout of one just down the street from me, and a typical negotiation of one.

1) Car 1 comes to the round-about slows but doesn't stop.
2) Car 2 comes to the round-abut slows but doesn't stop.
3) Car 1 doesn't see car to decides I...err...he doesn't want to drive all the way around and cut the wrong way.
4) Car 2 presses on, vision restricted due to folage in center of roundabout.
5) Both cars stop and glare at eachother with distain
6) Option: Postion where firey crash occurs when both cars see eachother and try to beat eachother out anyway.
