The Magic Roundabout

The Magic Roundabout is a unique traffic roundabout located in Swindon, England. It consists of a central roundabout surrounded by five smaller mini-roundabouts. Drivers navigate in a counter-clockwise direction around the central island, while the mini-roundabouts allow vehicles to enter and exit from various directions. This design promotes flow but can be confusing for first-time users. It was created in the 1970s to reduce congestion and improve traffic management. The roundabout is notable for its unconventional layout and has become a landmark in Swindon, often associated with its whimsical name and the children's television series of the same title.
