Mine is Bayley's Island - the roundabout at Bayston Hill, Shrewsbury, where the A5 (east-west) dual carriageway meets the A49 (north-south) dual carriageway. It also has an exit for services, a Little Chef, and a garden centre. Getting across the roundabout is just awful. Lane discipline routinely ignored, people don't indicate, traffic is very fast. Not for the faint-hearted.

Oh yes but then as a local yokel, it's nothin special

I've had a look at the pictures of it, and it actually looks less intimidating than a few double mini-roundabouts they have in Southampton.

Yes, according to my riding school 90%+ of bike tests in Swindon cross it in some way!

I looked at the pics and immediately thought 'avoid Swindon at all costs'. Not that I have any reason to go there anyway, but I have even less now

Oh, I plan on avoding Swindon at all costs, but the Magic Roundabout isn't the reason
