My other half tends to watch all sorts of videos related to science. So this morning he has shared this weird thing that exists in the UK - the Magis Roundabout!

So, what exactly is this Magic Roundabout? And why is it magic? See for yourselves!
The roundabout is situated in Swindon, UK and has been here since 1972[2]. It is complex and scary for many but nevertheless a great invention to see for yourselves!
Isn't it magical to watch if from the bird's view? Of course, for that, you would have to have a drone or watch the numerous videos on the youtube.
But imagine to pull into the roundabout with the five mini roundabouts and then another one in the middle that goes anti-clockwise! It does look like a kaleidoscope.
I have only ever crossed a double roundabout, where one mini roundabout leads to the other mini roundabout, which was rather unusual. All you need to do is be careful and follow the rules! Drive safe!
