Can't be england, they're going around the center roundabout the right way... I'm mean the right way for the rest of us... But the little ones on the outside look like you have to go the "wrong" way 'round... My head hurts, I'm gonna go lie down for a while...

I think its England. They seem to driving on the left, though its damned hard to tell in all that craziness.

In fact I think I've been on that roundabout.

One of my professors said in Europe (I think France, not sure) there was a huge roundabout with 5 or 6 lanes with no lane markings at all. The way you had to drive was to watch the car to the right of you and follow what he does, and be confident that the guy to the left of you is watching your car.

Roundabouts are actually a lot easier and nicer to transverse compared to lights.

It's just that they take a bit to get used to at first (at least for me).

Fuck traffic lights and stop signs, they suck.. Roundabouts are the way to go. Anyone that thinks coming to a stop every time you arrive at an intersection is better than merging into a roundabout has obviously never used one...Ignorance is bliss.
That said, the one in the pic is fucked up.

The city I live in has started implementing roundabouts. I really like them. There are a log of 4 way stops here, roundabouts are much better. Lots of people dislike them because the are different. Fortunately, the roundabouts here have a raised central area with landscaping. The ones in the picture suck, anyone could drive right through the middle of them.
The drivers in the pic are driving on the both sides of the road. Right side roads have counterclockwise rounabouts, left side roads have clockwise. This picture has both! What a nightmare.

Roundabuts are actually great. They keep stuff moving. Ones like that pictured above are actually part of a clandestine plot to flush out all the people that shouldn't hold driving licenses: they screw up, get in a smash, and have to pay more to be on the road. In the absence of dinosaurs to eat such people, it's a reasonable alternative.
