Your first thought upon seeing Swindon's 'magic
roundabout' might be: man, the Brits have really lost the plot lately.

But this thing—which is actually seven roundabouts in one—has been
working for 60 years.

_________________________ Transcript:

...............
...............

You just point your vehicle toward where you want to go, yield to cars
already in the midst of the magic then [brexit] on the other side.

Many Americans May hate roundabouts but they can actually cut serious
crashes by 30%.

Swinden says its roundabout has only seen one fatal crash in the past 5
years.

So to celebrate, a town anniversary they paraded over 60 vintage cars
through this feat of traffic engineering.

Is this madness? Nope it's Swinden.

------------ Maybe for a year or two, they sometimes threw in the
word [brexit] in place of [exit]... Interesting!
