The Basildon magic roundabout is a set of small roundabouts linked by dual-carriageway! It is legally bidirectional, except the roundabouts, but if you come & watch at rush-hour 95%[1] of motorists sit & queue in the conventional direction; whereas I just go the other way round it & save 10 minutes of clutch-pumping!
