Spiral roundabouts

Multi-storey car parks take me to another level .

I can't that I've ever heard of or seen a spiral roundabout, but looking at a video on YouTube, they look pretty straight forward.

Spiral roundabouts - that sounds like a staircase.

How about the Cornish double roundabouts? They're good at catching folk out. 😗

you do get double roundabouts elsewhere .... 😉

But they’re not so plentiful and, obviously, not so good as our proper jobs😛

I'll take your word for it ..... but I use one everyday going to work & I used to use one about 35 yrs ago on  the outskirts of Edinburgh

Ah, I’ve got it. A spiral roundabout is just an ordinary roundabout with lane markings. I thought that was pretty normal. 🤷🏻‍♂️

We have some here in Glasgow too.  Well frequented by the learner drivers.

I quite like them. You shouldn’t in theory get anyone trying to sneak up your near side as you move across towards your exit. Although they are only any good if they replace the markings as they wear. There is an excellent example where you exit the M40 to go to the Warwick site. One visit the markings had all but worn away and there was much confusion, as the road is wider than normal to accommodate the unwinding. Didn’t know they were called spiral roundabouts  though.🙂

I must admit I had no idea what they were till you put that picture on.

But yes they are normal and quite common up here and have been for a while (although I couldn't say when I first noticed one), I can think of three just within a few miles of home. 

The one I use regularly (even when towing) is straightforward, I just aim for the lane and it gets bigger.
