Roundabouts gone wrong!

Speaks for itself...

And I though only Sims would be that stupid 

[Patriots1228]

umm...how did that car get in there?

umm...how did that car get in there?

Pats, that's not the problem at all- how does it get out?


David

[jeronij]

Hopefully it is only a texture ID conflict somewhere....

David - it's very nice you think about future (rather than about past)
But... What that driver should get out for?
He can drive without any obstacles - no traffic, no problems. Personally I love empty roads 
He hasn't also any problems with parking

Btw - what do you think, wchich traffic sign stays here (see lower part of the picture)

And - have you ever seen an excellent (very old) movie by Jacques Tati "Mr Hulot amongst cars" (I translated from Polish, I don't know if it's correct). There is an amazing scene on the roundabout shortly before the end of this movie 

[dedgren]

Excellent, Ennedi.  Excellent!


David

p.s.:  No, I haven't seen that movie- but I will take it as a recommendation and look for it- thank you.  -DE

LoL OMG that is sooooo Funnnie David.... That is defintly a rundabout gone wrong... and i totaly agree i thought sims where only that stuppid to do that lol...

[Patriots1228]

well what i would do is try and run over that grass, but im guessing theres gonna be somthing there to prevent me from escaping. that planter in the center looks like a nice ramp

David,

The original title of this movie is "Trafic" (1971)

You can read more here

Visit also the official site of Jacques Tati - it is worth of it

When I saw the title, I thought of another roundabout.

Want roundabouts, well here is one coming up:


or is more than one:


Not quite sure, but hope you can find your


Here is an overview of it:

Gotta love Swindon town planners...It's actually great fun to drive around, but best to do it in a banged up french car 

[paroch]

The first roundabout must be wrong - he's going around it the wrong way!  Oh, yeah, only us Brits (and a few other crazy countries) drive clockwise around roundabouts.

And as for the multi roundabout roundabouts - there are more and more of them cropping up in England.  We have a big one in Benfleet with 5 roundabouts around one large one - great fun!

[Pat]

my god that is just nuts there Vester.... I would just give up and drive straight for my direction of travel.... skip going around them circles, I would look like a dog chasing its tail in that roundabout

Hello, David.

My, that is one interesting picture you've posted.  Are to assume this is a "real" picture or did someone take it as a joke?  It truly is an interesting photo.

I remember the first time I encountered a traffic circle.  It was in New Jersey in 1970.  I had no idea what it was (having been born and raised in a small town in Kansas) and approached it with great trepidation.  to be perfectly honest with you, I seem to remember going round and round it three or four times before learning where to "come out".

Thanks for sharing this interesting picture.

Regards,

Gary (Vandy)

I couldn't believe this when this happend to me, I encountered Roundabout's here in Wisconsin in the City of Mount Horeb, they actually use them instead of traffic lights...  How I found this out was a few weeks ago I took a trip down to Platteville Wisconsin and I stopped in Mount Horeb to take a rest and get a drink and I couldn't believe it!!! I plan on going back down there soon and actually remember to take my camera so I can take pics lol....

[MandelSoft]

LOLzerz! Those roundabouts are totally insane

[spa]

Those roundabouts are crazy! If I encountered them I would have absolutely no idea what to do. Are roundabouts within roundabouts really necessary? Why not have one big several lane circle instead? This just looks like confusion for the sake of confusion.

[Vandy]
