Google Maps - Magic Roundabout!
Dang man! With ALL the impaired drivers out in the world, I'd hate to have to negotiate that one!
its not as daunting as it first looks.. I'm told that originally it was just the 6 interconnected mini-roundabouts, all low-level ones.. and people would simply aim at the exit they wanted and drive straight there! Cant do that now, but its not too bad.
Driving in France is worse. SOME of their roundabouts give priority to the drivers already on the roundabout, and some give priority to the cars arriving, (so if you're on the roundabout you have to stop and let new people on..)
The only way to tell will be a small sign indicating the appropriate 'priorite' as you approach it.. and then you also have to hope that the other drivers say the sign too... not good!
in the UK we have a lot of them, but they all have the same rules, and same rules on lane discipline, so its not too bad - and they do keep the traffic flowing much better than traffic lights do.
