The Magic Roundabout (see Google Map Satellite picture) in Swindon, England consists of one large roundabout containing five mini-roundabouts and was constructed in 1972. It is located near the County Ground, home of Swindon Town F.C. Its name comes from the popular children's television series The Magic Roundabout.
This multi-mini roundabouts system may confuse new visitors and baffle tourists, but the Swindonian are so proud of their unique ultimate traffic control system which makes them 'be famous for'. A common Swindonian finds that his/er passage through this busy junctions is actually quite fluid, even at peak times. Twenty-five years on, the magic Roundabout still works, despite ever-increasing volumes of traffic.
