Yes indeed good folks, this is your chance to discuss all things roundabout related

Do you like them?

Do you have a particular favourite/least favourite one?

Do you consider yourself a confident user of roundabouts or else does the very thought of approaching one fill you with mortal dread?

Do you have any interesting or funny stories revolving around roundabouts?

Perhaps you find yourself sexually aroused whenever you behold the luscious curves of one or else perhaps, if you’re really sexually liberated, you may even have attempted to have sex with one?

Reveal all my fine people and let us share a joyous discourse on all things roundabout

Basildon is the place to go for roundabouts. They are big, bumpy, and completely impervious to the Highway Code.

I don't like it whe they don't signal to go left making you waiting there like a lemon to go. On the plus side, roundabouts are useful if you are not sure which way it is you need to go so you keep going round and round till you decide

Drivers on roundabouts seem to think all pedestrians/cyclists are mind readers. They don't bloody signal. This is a daily irritant as there's a roundabout on the way to school.

Nothing sexy about the moron who knocked my daughter off her bike at the roundabout. He hadn't signalled then got out his car and blamed her. Tosser.

There’s a roundabout near me which I know for a fact has quite the reputation and many drivers choose to actively avoid it.

Of those who DO brave it though, it would appear that only a small percentage seem to understand exactly HOW to use it though, with virtually no one knowing what lane is designated to go where

M6, Junction 7.

To turn left you have to turn right 450° (i.e. one and a quarter turns, ending up going over the motorway but under the first bit of roundabout you were on) Ridiculous

2 miles away, Spaghetti Junction is relatively sensible

I quite like a roundabout, they break up the monotony of driving. I get quite excited when you are in an unfamiliar place and the Satnav tells you there is a roundabout....oooh, how big? How may exist? How many lanes? Does it have lights? Is it busy???? Oh shit which lane?? Then you realise you're in the wrong lane and your driving round that bitch like your spinning the wheel of fortune!

Exciting times recently, we had one of those new fangled double roundabouts constructed near me.....Nobody knows which lane they should be in or what to do!

Good times, good times

The legend is that the magic roundabout is ama pretty effective way of managing the traffic. Given the shitshow of traffic lights in other parts of Swindon I can believe that. Ive rarely been delayed at the magic roundabout and have done it during football traffic. Other roads around the ground snarl up tho.

Once you get used to it it's fine. There was a similarly awful (but different design) roundabout in Aylesbury, locally known as the 'Hen & Chickens' roundabout due to the pub by it that put the fear of God into anyone learning to drive or having their test.

Most roundabouts pale into insignificance in awkwardness and fuckwittery compared to many a one way system and frigging base lane.

On a pedantic note most large "roundabouts" are technically gyratories.

Me and the ex wife did manage to sneak into the undergrowth on the Lawrence hill gyratory(roundabout) for a little bit of "adult" time, laid in the foliage on a sunny afternoon. So if I was going to have a favourite I'd have to go with that until I get a better offer/story.

In Canada they have 'Four Way Stop' at mini roundabouts. Every vehicle must stop and the first to arrive is the first to go, and so on.

Works very well because they are more civilised and not in quite such a hurry as we are.

There one roundabout that I used to use every day that was a complete and utter nightmare. Initially they put traffic lights on it, that didn't work because for some reason they were always out of sync. After they'd removed them it seemed that very few people knew which lane they needed to be in and I learned to drive it with eyes in the back of my bloomin head. I swear I was cut up nine times out of ten

That's a housing estate that decided to build the houses set out in a circle shape with a grass area in front of it. That's not classed as a roundabout on a main road.

The roundabouts in Milton Keynes are part of the grid system, we have less traffic lights across the city because of the roundabouts.

Same. Them and the cars that bomb round them so you think you can go but then some idiot comes out of nowhere.

Also the pricks who go into an outside lane to turn left just so they can overtake.

Actually maybe I don't like roundabouts.

That’s ok if you are one of the first cars there and can see the road markings before they are covered by traffic. Over head signs work a lot better.
