My favorite roundabout is the one in hertfordshire where the quickest way to go straight on is to go anticlockwise round it......

Before anyone screams with horror it's a f'ing huge roundabout with about 10 satelite (mini roundabouts) round the outside of it.

As a result you can go straight on by driving the rightway round the satelite roundabouts whilst going the wrong way round the large one.....

And it's soooo much fun!!!
Sounds like the Magic Roundabout in Hemel Hempstead, which wasn't actually too bad once i'd got over the shock of seeing it on a roadsign!

someday i wanna make a pilgrimage there just to drive the wrong way round the middle a few times.

already done slack hill (f*** me how steep/long is THAT! ashtray - flat out at all of 45mph for about a mile - would have killed the 1 litre with rifles!) and i live around birmingham / have lived in bangor & between the two several ways, so my list of motoring landmarks to visit slowly diminishes.....

It's damn good fun :wink: Especially when you use the unorthadox route to put yourself 4 cars ahead of the car you were behind at the approach

shhh

dont pretend you're enjoying something on the road

it'll only get banned

*visions of cameras being set up on teh magic roundabout to catch people driving "unsafetly and recklessly" by using the centre section*

you know, just as you're being unsafe by using the middle lane on 3 lane roads :roll:
