Avon Colorado
Avon Colorado "Roundabout Capital of the Rocky Mountains"
Five roundabouts to enjoy on the way from Interstate Highway I-70 to the base of the mountain, the entrance to Beaver Creek.
Instructions for using the roundabouts are on Avon's website, click here. (Americans are not as roundabout experienced as Brits.)
Colechester
The Greenstead Roundabout is a magic roundabout consisting of five mini roundabouts around a large roundabout located in Colchester, Essex. Click here for an aerial photo.
Like other true magic roundabouts, motorists entering Greenstread Roundabout must drive clockwise around each mini roundabout. This, however, enables clockwise and anticlockwise travel around the larger roundabout.

Columbus Circle
Columbus Circle is a roundabout — traffic circle — right in the middle of Manhattan. A highlight of a trip to New York City for our members. But now we don't need to travel to New York to visit it. We visit the Columbus Circle Webcam.
Taxis making their way around Columbus Circle:
Columbus Circle, New York City
Hemel Hempstead
Created in 1973 at the junction of seven roads, this magic roundabout is one of a number in the UK.
Located near Hemel Hempstead, Plough Roundabout is one giant roundabout surrounded by six mini roundabouts. Click here for an aerial view.
It was voted the second worst roundabout in the UK by a leading insurance company, after its sister in Swindon.

High Wycombe
The High Wycombe magic roundabout is really a collection of five mini roundabouts arranged around an island. It has no official name. Click here for an aerial photo.
Without wishing to spark off a controversy, the DMC are not convinced that this junction warrants the "magic" descripter.

Dear DMC,
At the risk of making our overseas correspondents nervous about visiting Swindon - although it would be a classic dull man destination - I attach a photograph of the famous roundabout 'in action'.

I apologize in advance if you have seen these photographs previously, but there is safety in repetition.
Sincerely,

Dear DMC,
Here's a link to a truly dull site about a multiple roundabout in Swindon. Please click here.

I think the membership will enjoy this one. Quietly . . .
