The Magic Roundabout (Hemel Hempstead)

I’ve recently been looking at a variety of blog search engines and have found a couple that provide RSS feeds of your search results - this lets you subscribe to the search using an RSS reader and see extra results as they turn up. For example, this feed is for all blog postings that mention Berkhamsted - as new postings are made that mention Berkhamsted, I’ll pick them up from the feed.

Trawling through the results, I came across this little gem that made me chuckle, all about Hemel Hempstead. Of particular note are the details on the Magic Roundabout, which my wife and I gawked at when we first encountered it during an innocent shopping trip to Homebase. It’s quite an amazing construction - unlike any other roundabout I’ve seen - and quite daunting at first, but once you get used to it and realise that you can be quite aggressive in pushing out onto any of the mini roundabouts, you tend to be able to scoot around it quite quickly.

    We have a Magic Roundabout near us too, in a place called South Benfleet in Essex. Not only (like Hemel) does it have a number of roundabouts dotted around one larger one, but it also has some roads that cut through the large roundabout in order to save time circumnavigating the whole shebang…

    Some road designers should either be shot, or commended…I’m not sure which…!!!
