Apparently highway engineers in Coventry have given the Magic Roundabout a new spin. They have built a roundabout from which no legal exit is possible as each road leading off is signposted ‘No Left Turn’. This has greatly perplexed local drivers, many of whom have been reported missing by their anxious families. On the other hand, a local tyre company is said to be delighted with a recent upturn in trade, albeit for only two tyres at a time. Young Volvo passengers are being offerred counselling for what is described as Mulberry Bush Syndrome.

Generally I prefer roundabouts to traffic lights, but I must admit you see some pretty weird things.
I live quite near Hemel Hempstead, where there is a horrendous multiple roundabout (known locally, surprise surprise, as ‘the magic roundabout’) that has a been the downfall of many a learner driver and newcomer to the area. Adequate warning signs to prepare people for what they’re about to encounter might help!
