As an American I can confirm my heart almost stopped when I saw that “Magic Roundabout in Swindon”
Try going through it on a pushbike.
I had to every day to get to college.
@@thobu6576 You're not meant to use the roundabouts on a pushbike, there are bike lanes all around it with crossing lights (well there are now, there might not have been when you were at college)
It's pretty simple, it's just like five roundabouts in a row with dual carriageway roads linking them, there are a couple more of them in the UK (I live a few miles from one in Colchester) and they work fairly well.
Yeah I'm British and I have to agree, it looks like utter chaos
@@ChuckFickens1972 there certainly weren't any cycle lanes through it when I was at college nearly 20 years ago.
11:46 Matt out here forgetting that most of Europe is right-hand driving AND using roundabouts lol
For people from the UK and the US these two countries are the only actual places in existence. Can't ask one of them to wrap their heads around other places existing.
@@goldminer754 of course we in the UK are aware of other countries existing. I'd assume most of our American cousins are too.
This! Literally, the world capital of roundabout is France (almost twice more roundabout per capita than the UK) and after the UK (2nd), it's Italy, Spain and Brazil, all right hand driving.
I was gonna say as a RHDer in the US… the uk is rhd and the us is lhd Matt 😅😅 that was a slip of the brain
@@rafidogyeah and france is over double the size so if you look at it for size the uk would have more roundabouts
We alway wondered why the aliens were making crop circles. There were planning their city layouts.
Extraterrestrial would come to America just to implement a better road system then them without living there then the Americans can
@@eddieb270 I love the idea of aliens invading, seemingly just ripping apart all infrastructure, but then rebuilding it in a much better way and leaving
@@eddieb270 America has a great road system.
@@fakecubed great as in big yes great as in doesnt waste everyones time no
@@fakecubed great =/= good
Fun round-a-bout story for yah.
My Grandad was told 'Straight across here' and the legend just ran over the island.
It took 7 years for the tire tracks to properly go
He's since passed but the tire tracks were still there long after he died
The round-a-bouts never forget
Everlasting legacy
The round-a-bouts never forgive
Well, you just built Viseu here in Portugal. It's a relatively small city - about 100K people, but we have over 700 roundabouts here. We are known as "the city of roundabouts" 😆
I looked it up on Google maps and it's amazing
@@torfley hahahahah it truly is
The magic roundabout otherwise known as the daily "Choose your own driving adventure" challenge. No two routes have to be the same
and the replayability is infinite! lol
@@dynad00d15 until you get your game over screen after a few decades of playtime
@@jc_art_ Your an order of magnitude less likely to die due to a collision on a magic roundabout than you are on the american monstrosity.
@@hanzzel6086 i dont see your point, i was referring to old age
@@jc_art_ Ahh, I misunderstood your point. 2 decades seems kinda short to be dying of old age though.
Edit: Ohhhh, I need my eyes checked.
"If you do drive right hand drive, you probably dont know what a roundabout is"
The entirety of middle europe: "Are we a joke to you?!"
not just middle...
There are tens of thousands of roundabouts in the US. British people are just ignorant.
Also there are lots of roundabouts in America too.
I mean he is correct, if you do drive right hand drive, you PROBABLY don't know what a roundabout is.
Literally the same comment i just wanted to make
Today was my first day being an engineer at my work place. Took me six months to get into this department. So it was a great day and looking forward to more engineering tomorrow!
Matt thinking there isn’t roundabouts in the US is always funny to me. There a whole street in my city where all intersections were destroyed and they replaced about 8 of them with roundabouts and it saves about 15 minutes driving down that road now.
thats just an exception there really arent many roundabouts in the us
I wish my city had roundabouts. There's this intersection where there's a bunch of traffic from many places, including a middle school. It's always so annoying, traffic gets backed up over the hill and, in rare but still scenarios I've been in, traffic gets backed up from the school TO THE SIDEWALK ON THE INTERSECTION. Istg if there was a roundabout there, most issues would be fixed. Luckily they're rebuilding the school in another plot, so traffic won't back up so much, but that plot is downtown. Interested to see how that works out.
In my city, I think there are MAYBE 4 roundabouts. In the whole city. I kind wish there were more cuz i quite like them, but i think most areas are too high traffic for them (4 lane or 6 lane roads going into roundabouts are not pretty)
Americans wouldn't understand how to use them because of the poor education system...
So they'd blast each other with guns when they get frustrated because of the second amendment...
Then they'd go bankrupt paying for their medical bills because of the ludicrous healthcare system...
NYC has 3 of them on the corners of Central Park lol
imagine having to get your driver's license in this city
On the other hand: you could never run a red light and potentially lose it again
@@derAtze Not true, the silly geezer had a bunch of traffic lights with his roundabouts on the medium roads.
I don’t have to, I’m a learner and have driven on it, the secret is it’s actually not that bad
Well, at least you'll know how to navigate roundabouts.
An architect would love this city, the art that those circles created is beautiful (Im an architecture student, and yes, i love this channel)
THE BLASPHEMER
HEATHEN
HERESY
we never can be friends!
As am American, I'm really coming round to roundabouts. 'They' have done a decent job deciding where we need new ones and the traffic has lessened a lot in those areas. I'm especially impressed when they do well as a means to get on the highway.
It's giving Canberra, Australia. Known by Aussies for its roundabouts, and forgotten by foreigners as the capital.
I like roundabouts.. but the Swindon roundabout gives me the heebie jeebies.
I am an American and this video changed my mind
I used to always say "I love roundabouts" and "Roundabouts are my favorite to go around because there's no traffic"
Now I think that roundabouts suck. Truck drivers aren't making it anywhere on your roads, and there was a huge roundabout, where if you lived at the end of it, you have to drive all the way around just to get home.
They make sense only if there is a small enough amount of traffic, and there are enough intersections close together that a driver would have to stop many times. With more traffic or fewer intersections, they are worse. Roundabouts are also much more deadly for cyclists and pedestrians.
Driving in circles all the time will be an amazing experience. I can already see the potential to destroy the cars.
The Swindon Magic Roundabout awards list on Wikipedia:
-In 2005, it was voted the worst roundabout in a survey of the general public by a UK insurance company.
-In September 2007 it was named as one of the world's worst junctions by a UK motoring magazine.
-In December 2007, BBC News reported a survey identifying The Magic Roundabout as one of the "10 Scariest Junctions in the United Kingdom".
-In 2009, it was voted the fourth-scariest junction in Britain, according to a poll of 3,225 UK drivers.
0:31 the city skylines 2 view is so good
Yeah, that's just Swindon.
And the magic roundabout is much less intimidating when you don't overthink it.
With all the roundabouts you're more recreating Milton Keynes than you are Swindon
On his patreon series he created another city inspired by milton keynes
MK is such a weiiiiird place
i came here to say this 😂
As a non American I am deeply offended by you assuming that we right hand drivers don't know what a roundabout is. We Germans take great pride in in our roundabouts.
As a French, we do love our roundabouts. In the City of Nantes, you even have roundabout leading to another one, leading to a third one.
We have roundabouts in America... they tend to slow traffic and cause lots of accidents. Mostly because we don't have the city structures for them to work. Circlar roads work great we call them ring roads and they are highways that circle a large city. Usually multiple of them, if the city isn't too old and built before the consept, they work great... if the traffic controllers have set up the lights correctly in the city. But since everyone argues over safety, the lights are typically set up to slow traffic and cause massive problems with back ups. Were traffic circles could work. But this didn't really prove any point you have. Best data would be finding areas in England with roundabouts and their speed limits, then finding areas with same densities and limits in areas here and look at data trends. Otherwise, this idea, like multiple times, I've heard speculation. I've heard this argument hundreds of times. But I can travel 4 times the distance in my state in a very dense area that has a higher population than the northern area of england and travel thatbin the same amount of time. So again, the data would need more similarity to truly compare anything for proper analysis. But no one will ever donit properly.
As an American in Georgia (the state not the country), our engineers are actually architects. The roundabouts are so tiny, that they are just glorified round 4-way stops, totally useless. And on the larger ones, the main road is so congested by people following too closely to the car infront of them , that any off shoots STILL have to stop while 10 cars pass you at your "yeild" sign before you and the 10 cars behind you can even move.
11:52 i live in the Pacific Northwest and they LOVE roundabouts up here for being in the US. Theyre not everywhere but theyre mostly used to make people slow down in residential areas lol
If that's what you want to do...then you're doing it wrong.
What you do, is make a tesselated rhombitrihexagonal layout. Then make all the roads one-way, counter-clockwise for right-side driving, and clockwise for left-side driving. That way there are no left turns, and every "circle" formed by the pattern is a roundabout by default. If you incorporate road-hierarchy into it, and so long as the segments are big enough in the first place, it should work pretty well. I've never had any trouble, anyway. It's a pain to get started, but once you've got the first complete section done, expanding on it is relatively easy.
19:30 you can see just a pile up of traffic on his road of roundabouts as he’s talking about how good the traffic is 🤣
Those might be people parked on the road
My dear engineer friend 😂 how many countrys have left Hand driving compared to right Hand?
64, according to google.
In Michigan (US), roundabouts are actually quite common, at least where I'm at and they're fun to drive through. They're a little intimidating at first, but usually very efficient
Brașov, Romania is a roundabout heaven. There's a 6 lane huge roundabout going around the new center, complete with pedestrian stoplights and streets in the middle. And ofc you enter it through another roundabout
Is anyone gonna tell him that an "American" interstate highway interchange isn't the same as a city interchange? Or that the US has tons of roundabouts?
I don't know about tons, but we're getting there. Even saw one in Georgia once on an overpass.
There are about 9000 roundabouts in the us and in the uk there are about 25000 roundabouts in the uk 😬
I’ve dealt with 5 in California so far, been driving for 10 years 😂 I’m in SoCal. Only the fancy neighborhoods throw one in to confuse us. Outside of that I saw one in Arizona. All I know is, if I dealt with the Swindon one I would just burn my license.
@@millygd955 First of all... there are about 13,000 roundabouts in the US. That google search result that says 9,000 is from a year ago and isn't including all roundabouts. Second, we only had about 3,700 ten years ago. So... yeah, it's turning into a thing.
@@millygd955 The UK is a lot more dense than the US. When people are packed in with a ton of intersections, but the population isn't that high overall, roundabouts make a lot of sense. In a very low density country with the occasional very high population city, they make very little sense.
"Hey Dad what do you think of..."
"Be quiet, I'm on a roundabout"
I will never not be roasting Carmel, Indiana by saying this is just Carmel, Indiana. My dad INSISTED on finding a speedway in that town after a 3 hour drive to my surgeon's office and it was roundabout HELL. Every intersection was a roundabout or some abomination peanut roundabout. We got so lost
As an American, I'm terrified.
Mortified
Horrified
Where I work (semi-rural North Carolina, USA), they've started adopting roundabouts here and there. They're really nice, even if they took some getting used to.
Always tell who is a car user. If you look at a round about and see magic, you drive. If you look at a roundabout and see death your a pedestrian.
All I can think about is how bad the tire wear situation will be when every car is always turning. Think Id open a tire rotation and alignment shop if I lived here.
As a Swindonian I can tell you in certain parts of Swindon, nearly every intersection is a roundabout (west Swindon, abbey meads etc.)
Also, outside Abbey Meads Primary School in north Swindon there are two mini roundabouts at the base of a rotunda, forming a strong shape… bit of a chode though.
Oddly enough I think the roundabout down the hill from old town leading towards the magic roundabout is worse
We have two roudabouts in our village in Germany, one isn't completely round and it's called "egg" 😂 When I moved here people asked if I live in the settlement near the "egg" and I was confused af 😂In the neighbouring town we have two mini-roundabouts that regularly cause confusion and accidents. We Germans aren't always the smartest when it comes to construction either. In one town, two junctions were flattened and roundabouts were put in with two high central sections and buses and lorries got stuck there right at the start, causing huge traffic chaos and it took the building authority three months to correct it. 😂This would not have happened with your proper engineering skills tho 👍🤣
I'd rather deal with roundabouts than traffic lights. My town traffic light sucks. 5 minutes stop time, 10 seconds go time, even on heavy traffic. I am a very impatient person lol
Biblically accurate roundabouts. 👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️👁️
AMERICANS! BE NOT AFRAID! WE ARE SAFE AND EASY TO NAVIGATE!
I, an American, grew up driving through the roundabout in the next town over. Though it was more of a trapezoid shape, and about an acre in size, and sometimes the oncoming lane had right of way giving the yield to drivers on the loop. Also, we call them traffic circles.
"the traffic is amazing" meanwhile the massive backup of people waiting to get into the round about at the edge of the screen
do british people not realize america also has a bunch of roundabouts? they’re everywhere near me 😭
That can't possibly be true, otherwise you wouldn't be crying and you would have a huge smile on your face, spreading all the roundabout goodness 😄
American poster, a town nearby recently put in roundabouts along one of its most major streets and there has been unprecedented amounts of accidents on that road since. It turns out intersections with constant traffic flow are dangerous.
5:10 Was that a pothole?
Oh no it was a tear in spacetime.
The maximum like i got on a comment was 133 🙂
I hate these types of comments
🙂
133 is quite good
Yeaaaa
You must be an architect
Sewage outlets don't need a road conection to work. You can just plop them at the river and run a pipe to them. No roads required - though I found your poo canal a rather ingenious solution.
As someone from the state of Indiana in the United States, we are very familiar with roundabouts! But I will say, the magic roundabout still had my jaw dropped lol
American here 👋 yea that looks like a headache but it’s actually simple. Wouldn’t wanna go through it everyday lol.
Also sewage outlets, pretty sure they don’t need road. Just the water pumps.
There's an anticlockwise roundabout in Hemel Hempstead, so there's probably more. Hangar Lane is far more terrifying than the Swindon one :p
My struggle with roundabouts is when they have multiple lanes. The American driving school I went to never taught me how to use them. I learned about single lane roundabouts from my parents but multi-lane one’s feels like there’s no rules on which lane you’re supposed to be in to get somewhere.
When you were on about the lorry cutting over the island I was waiting for you to say ‘blob of paint’… I’ve just googled it cuz I’m now doubting if that’s what painted islands are even called!
This video has convinced me not to bother upgrading to CS2! Thank you! Haha
“just beware of the odd tear in the space time continuum” oh great exactly what i need in my roundabouts
As a Canadian, I have to agree with my neighbours to the south, that “Magic Roundabout” looks like an absolute monstrosity.
Nothing like a good roundabout. Good think we have tons of them over here in America. Hey RCE, next time you want to visit America try New (therefore better) England. You'll see some nice sights, good weather, and roundabouts a plenty.
as a european non british driver, you're beaking my heart right here 03:21
Day 117 of asking Matt to add the Second Narrows Bridge, Ironworkers Memorial to the Wheel of Bridgetune
It is a cantilevered truss bridge, carrying 6 lanes of traffic from Vancouver to North Vancouver in B.C. across the second narrowing of the Burrard Inlet.
It's name comes from the fact that it collapsed twice during construction, which unalived 23 people in total (Hence the name, ironworkers memorial).
As a german I must say, Our country takes roundabouts very serious. And we have right hand drive.
But you`re right. The roundabouts are anti clockwise
the city looks pretty amazing.
if only you had not made that mess of an entrance road...
one issue though, besides the traffic jam at the entrance, is the overall low traffic speed.
i mean, cars have to slow down at every roundabout to enter and sometimes even within the roundabout if their goal is inside one.
i think if i made a roundabout city i would make a big line of large-ish roundabouts for just industry and other polluting buildings and another big one or as series of medium sized ones for mixed living and shopping, that run kinda adjacent to industry with occasional connections, only build up-wind and upstream of course.
that way the traffic would be split right from the beginning and the overall flow should be faster than your mess of a city. pretty as it looks, it's just not that efficient.
the end result of my plan should be a pretty traffic stable waving double line of roundabouts that split off into sections with smaller roundabouts on their respective sides, followed by either a series of straight roads with tiny roundabouts at the end or arcing half circle roads that connect to other roundabouts.
while i can't test it without the game, it should be pretty and effective.
As a frenchmen, I can tell you I do know roundabouts with right hand traffic! In fact, France is number one in Europe in number of roundabouts...
Why draw a pentagon, when you can draw a Pentagram? 👹🐐🔥♨️
Grew up in the north eastern us, now I live in Florida. Roundabouts are common in both.
Though before top gear I called them traffic circles.
As an American the only thing i like about the round abouts they've added in my city is seeing how fast i can go through them. So far I've managed 52mph (going across to the other side "straight")with no tires slip. workin my nerve up to go faster.
Yank here. Personally, I love roundabouts and I live in a corner of the country with an unusually large amount of them. They would be brilliant if everyone here (especially the cops) knew how to use them.
I’m not so sure about the rest of the US based on how they drive in them but, Midwesterners love roundabouts. Shoutout Eugene Henard
When you discover your mission, you will feel its demand. It will fill you with enthusiasm and a burning desire to get to work on it.
That Swindon roundabout may be an ideal for a UK engineer, but it looks like a nightmare for a new driver or one not used to nested roundabouts.
Just when I thought your hellscapes couldn't get any worse, you come up with this
You know, as an American, the magic roundabout actually made sense, even with the occasional tear in the space time continuum
As an American I live in a town full of roundabouts. So the magic roundabout in Swindon is just an average Tuesday drive to work
"If you drive on the right hand side, you propably don't know what a roundabout is"
Meanwhile, France being the country with the most roundabouts
Roundabouts are the bestabouts. The urge to drive to Swindon just to see the magic roundabout is high
County ground on one side and chip shop on the other, have fun 😂
as a european I've never seen a roundabout more complicated like the one in Swindon lol
if you live on the east coast, roundabouts are fairly common and getting more common every year
There are more roundabouts in the US than people in London. But big roundabouts are less safe than large intersections, so we don't have many of those.
As Dutch: right hand drive, roundabouts in every village, stil fun 2 Watch
Just because you made me look at that, I'm going to go out of my way to find a harbor to dump tea in.
as an american, that magic roundabout struck the fear of God into me. also yes our roundabouts are counter-clockwise
the traffic rouls in denmark, dont have the word roundabout. a roundabout is just a straight road with side roads only entering from one side. this means lane mathematics works in roundabouts. it work very well
As an American, I actually appreciate the effectiveness of roundabouts...with competent drivers. With the far more common INcompetent drivers, they are generally slower and notably more dangerous than intersections. I've seen compilations of fails from your magic roundabout and those would be a daily thing in the US and cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage yearly...particularly in the south or midwest where the IQ is lower and entitlement just as high, plus there are extra semi trucks that basically disable 1 extra lane or more. I understand though, engineers rarely relate design to actual reality, i see this at my job daily and have to burst their bubbles often and one of them even admits every engineer he's ever met is like that hahaha (we're manufacturing but same premise).
I think I tried to do something similar awhile back but nothing as good as this. Cool to see a Civil Engineer play city skylines
Also the result looks like Gallifreyan script lol
I love Roundabouts, thank god Switzerland has them too.
magic roundabout? terrifying to those who have never driven on one. normal roundabouts? they're fuckin everywhere in america (or at least where i am)
What matters is the value we've created in our lives, the people we've made happy and how much we've grown as people.
Where i live, there is a street which is just all roundabouts. Probably because it's next to water that floods pretty often.
Carmel, Indiana. A British engineer's heaven. Don't believe me? Google how many roundabouts are in the city...
in the Netherlands, we drive on out roundabout counterclockwise, but sadly, we don’t have any magic ones.
I'm American and always argue in favor of Roundy's, though there is a such thing as to much of a good thing lol.
Here is FL I get trash talked about them a lot even though they would be perfect for this area since is never snows, they are hurricane and flood proof, and of course they would make traffic much better. But change is scary to most people so I am not holding my breathe down here lol
as a american in missouri i truly feel as if were a experiment for mad max near festus were getting a roundabout and everyone is putting cash down on how many pepeole are goona either crasher or get shot in the first 4 months tbh my bet is 1 person shot atleast 12 crashes
Roundabouts and left hand drive are both sins, this is why they are so prominent in Britain, the home of all sins.
That beginning section looks like when you get to a line with no one in it, then you have to zigzag back and forth.
My wife hates Roundabouts, but only because every single time we drive trough one, absolutely every time, I insist on saying "Look kids, Big Ben, Parliament."' I imagine after the 10 years of living in a neighborhood where we have to drive through one to get in and out of our housing development she's pretty sick of it. 😀
It looks really cool but it also looks like it's 60% road and 40% buildings, though I suppose that was the desired result. :)
Now that you've featured the Swindon one... next up, Arc de Triomphe.
So...Im American qnd I admit, round abouts are superior. I love that I am seeing more and more of them...but what the hell is THAT!?! 0:10
Roundabouts city is very cool looking
If you drive on the left lane you still know what a round about is for example the city of Prague has some parts where there are round abouts every hundred meters, it's very cool to look at but very annoying to drive through
as an american, i can confirm that roundabout was indeed magical. also roundabouts are superior in every way
I'll be the roundabout~
The words will make you out 'n' out~
