    Although the UK had a huge head start as far as roundabouts are concerned, nowadays they're popping up all over Europe, and there isn't that much a difference any more in frequency.

    Of course, the UK still have the more wonky stuff.

    This: http://www.cbrd.co.uk/indepth/magicroundabout/ is more informative than the wiki article.

    I in fact grew up in Tamworth, a similarly roundabout-endowed place with a junction similar to that in Swindon

  4. Re:Eight lanes each side, or total? by smoker2 · · Score: 1 · on Life Without Traffic Signs
    No it hasn't. A dual carriageway is indeed where the opposing carriageways are separated by a central reservation or barrier. You can have a dual carriageway which comprises of only 2 lanes total.

    Also, the speed limit on a dual carriageway is 70mph (for a car) unless otherwise indicated. The only practical difference between a dual carriageway and a motorway is that motorways have restrictions on the type of vehicles that can use them.

    How about this four lane roundabout then: http://www.cbrd.co.uk/badjunctions/45-46.shtml

    It's actually not a bad roundabout when you know which lane you want to be in, but for visitors to the area it must be a nightmare.

    And here's some info on how to use a roundabout, from the British Highway Code:

  8. Trippy road trip by srenker · · Score: 2, Interesting · on LA to Oregon at Mach 9

    Offtopic me if you must, but I was reminded of this video from Britain. It's not nearly as long, but it covers a stretch of motorway that uses reversible lanes without a center divider!
