Only if there’s traffic. It says it only takes a minute without traffic.
I do not understand :(
I think the joke is people keep posting the “you can drive x hours and still be in y location”, but really, you can drive indefinitely in one neighborhood, without every leaving. You could stay in the roundabout for as long as you want, just like you can drive from South Africa to Finland, or whatever.
Yes, that was my first thought as well.
But the Google Maps screenshot says 0.2 mile which means that it’s just exactly one time around in the roundabout and not insanely often, so that’s not the case here.
I looked up the roundabout to see if there’s any reason why you’d need so long (e.g. it’s not really for driving and you could be 1mph/kmh or so, but it looks like you can drive normally on it.
are you American?
No
Having driven on that magic roundabout as well as the one in Swindon I can tell you that most minds can’t comprehend them
there are many roundabouts in my American city and sometimes the Americans even use them correctly
Of course I know how to use a roundabout! Step one: close eyes Step two: floor it Step three: pray Works every time!
You joke. I have personally seen someone use a roundabout like a launch ramp and survive.
I was waiting for this one lol
I used to live nearby! Loved that silly thing, just don’t treat it like one big roundabout - it’s six chained roundabouts that you can use individually; both green and red routes are valid and legal for the same destination:
Saving this pic so I can recreate this beautiful monster in Cities: Skylines.

Thank you. This is the meme that Lemmy has needed for the last week.
Personally, I would have used the Swindon magic roundabout, but this works too.
The less people that know about Swindon the better.
American? Do you mean USAEan?
Can confirm. I tried 2 laps in the roundabout in front of Kaiser and people lost their minds 😂
I’d like to return to the simple days of lemme beans, please.
