I used to live nearby! Loved that silly thing, just don’t treat it like one big roundabout - it’s six chained roundabouts that you can use individually; both green and red routes are valid and legal for the same destination:

Could someone flip this for those of us who drive on the right?
But the drawn arrows already imply driving on the right side? Or did this get edited?
i was literally just thinking - the cars are driving on the left and the arrows are all driving on the right 😂
I had to study this image way to hard lol. I'm an idiot
Saving this pic so I can recreate this beautiful monster in Cities: Skylines.

Having driven on that magic roundabout as well as the one in Swindon I can tell you that most minds can't comprehend them
I don't mind the complexity of it, but they need to make it bigger to make lane changes possible. That and experienced drivers are too impatient for new drivers to figure it out.
Most people i see on a daily basis can't hndle a normal 2 lane roundabout, ao i'm not sure if that would help

I enjoy this meme. Truly a Lemmy original.
It's a step up from beans & jeans, for sure.
The redditor mind cannot comprehend this

there are many roundabouts in my American city and sometimes the Americans even use them correctly
Of course I know how to use a roundabout! Step one: close eyes Step two: floor it Step three: pray Works every time!
You joke. I have personally seen someone use a roundabout like a launch ramp and survive.

American? Do you mean USAEan?
Ok. I get it. There are people in the Americas that are not from the US. But do you call people from the United Mexican States "Unitied Mexican Stateans"? No, that sounds ridiculous. I think that it's silly anyway to call everyone from either Americas "American" anyway; they are two different continents! "North American" or "South American" would be better, if you must get so broad with your adjectives (but really, continent-wide generalizations of people are rarely useful anyway). Sorry for the rant.
There was a meme posted earlier that used the term "USAean". They were referring to that i think
Yeah I went ultra meta. The first countermeme said USAean instead of American, and then one of the topish comments was "USAean? Do you mean American?"
1: I was making a meta joke, and this point isnt really your fault
2: Canada takes up more of North America than the States does, and no one says "United States of Mexico", they say Mexico. Mexico is also not a continent that is shared with other Countries. In general I'm not going to fight people referring to the States as America, but you arguement is BAD

I was waiting for this one lol
Inevitable as the heat death of the universe.
My American city has at least 2 roundabouts in it, and I happen to get confused by at least one of them every time I'm trying to get somewhere.
Based and freedom-pilled. Ignorance out for America, ~~brother~~ comrade.
To be fair, it's the most American roundabout ever. Changing numbers of lanes, stop lights around it, and completely unintuitive. I seem to always be one lane more to the right of where I thought I needed to be.
Personally, I would have used the Swindon magic roundabout, but this works too.
Can confirm. I tried 2 laps in the roundabout in front of Kaiser and people lost their minds 😂
I do not understand :(
I think the joke is people keep posting the "you can drive x hours and still be in y location", but really, you can drive indefinitely in one neighborhood, without every leaving. You could stay in the roundabout for as long as you want, just like you can drive from South Africa to Finland, or whatever.

Only if there's traffic. It says it only takes a minute without traffic.
