Piece of piss!

Enter mini roundabout, traverse to central roundabout, exit to mini, exit to desired road.

Soooo simple when you do it.

Looks easy enough, you just treat every roundabout separately

when you think about it, anti-clockwise is the natural direction of the inner wheel as you effectively steer left to come off a conventional roundabout anyway

It doesn't look that bad tbh, would probably be easier when you're there as you aren't seeing loads of roundabouts but can see where you need to get to if that makes any sense?

Looks almost as bad as saddlers farm roundabout.

That was such an epic fail that they decided to remove it all and put traffic lights up.

I would fly ahead with the spy drone first and wait for a clear spot in the traffic

I've seen people unable to navigate through a normal roundabout correctly, never mind something like that.

Is that the Arc D'Triomphe (sp*) onto the Champs Ellysee? If so, that roundabout is lethal to drive on but hilarious to watch other people drive on

I think the rules for roundabouts in France are different as well, so those on the roundabout give way to those coming on to it rather than the other way around

I heard you like roundabouts, so I put some roundabouts on your roundabout to cause a reverse roundabout so you can go the wrong way whilst going the right way

Looks pretty simple really although the sign isn't as clear as it could be.

Magic roundabouts are quite fun when you go around them backwards.

Fuck that, I'd just be looking for any gap and going for it regardless. Certainly wouldn't fancy that without some roundabout tyres on.
