Yesterday I was surfing on the internet when I found the magic roundabout.
A körforgalom Swindonban található, ami Londontól nyugatra van, és 1972-ben építették meg. Ez a körforgalom 5 mini körforgalmat tartalmaz egy körben elrendezve, ezért magic. 2009-ben a negyedik legijesztőbb csomópontnak szavazták meg Nagy-Britanniában. Kezdetben volt pár súlyos baleset, főleg biciklisekkel és motorosokkal, ezért számukra kiépítettek egy utat a körforgalom mellett.
The roundabout is located at west from London in Swindon and was constructed in 1972. This roundabout contains 5 mini roundabouts arranged in a circle that's why it is magic. In 2009 it was voted the most scariest junction in Britain. At the beginning there were several serious accidents mainly involved cyclists and motorcyclists therefore a cycle lane was built for them around the roundabout.

When I put a picture about this roundabout on the blog's Facebook page one of the readers shared her experience because she has to pass this roundabout quite often. She said it is scary at the beginning but then you can get used to it. :)
