I used to live nearby! Loved that silly thing, just don’t treat it like one big roundabout - it’s six chained roundabouts that you can use individually; both green and red routes are valid and legal for the same destination:

    Could someone flip this for those of us who drive on the right?

    But the drawn arrows already imply driving on the right side? Or did this get edited?

    I don't mind the complexity of it, but they need to make it bigger to make lane changes possible. That and experienced drivers are too impatient for new drivers to figure it out.

    Ok. I get it. There are people in the Americas that are not from the US. But do you call people from the United Mexican States "Unitied Mexican Stateans"? No, that sounds ridiculous. I think that it's silly anyway to call everyone from either Americas "American" anyway; they are two different continents! "North American" or "South American" would be better, if you must get so broad with your adjectives (but really, continent-wide generalizations of people are rarely useful anyway). Sorry for the rant.

    1: I was making a meta joke, and this point isnt really your fault

    2: Canada takes up more of North America than the States does, and no one says "United States of Mexico", they say Mexico. Mexico is also not a continent that is shared with other Countries. In general I'm not going to fight people referring to the States as America, but you arguement is BAD

    My American city has at least 2 roundabouts in it, and I happen to get confused by at least one of them every time I'm trying to get somewhere.

    Personally, I would have used the Swindon magic roundabout, but this works too.

    Can confirm. I tried 2 laps in the roundabout in front of Kaiser and people lost their minds 😂

    Only if there's traffic. It says it only takes a minute without traffic.
