Swindons got more, in random spots and (safety in numbers??) grouped together

Who on earth puts 4 mini roundabouts on one junction ? and why ?

theres a magic in hemel hempstead too though each island has less lanes
coming upto each junction and more space, a green park in the centre.
theres less sensation of travelling with traffic going in opposite direction
to your nearside as there appears in the piccy above.

seen smaller versions where a staggered crossroads has two mini islands
but you can still meet traffic 'wrong/near' side. all good fun. think it was
cheltenham or gloucester.
