The 'Magic Roundabout', Hemel Hempstead, Herts

Either a work of genius or nervous driver’s nightmare, the Magic Roundabout was constructed in 1973 and comprises of six mini roundabouts.

On paper, I think it makes sense, but when I was driving here it did feel like a bit of a ‘free for all’. But you can literally go round it either way to get to where you want.

OMG!

Oh that looks a nightmare. Saying that from below each part could look like a junction. As you say, a free for all.

I hate this roundabout, I just drive and pray!!! :rofl:

I showed the image to my mother - she said ‘I’d just pull over and cry’.

Used to have one in Essex.

Best thing ever, until they removed it.

Far quicker to get around it.
