Here is a brief description from a web site...

Everyone passes through Hemel1 sooner or later, and in doing so they invariably come across the Magic Roundabout at the town's hub. Beloved of the locals (who are known as 'Hemeloids' by non-locals), the Magic Roundabout scares the hell out of visitors who are used to traffic being restricted to clockwise travel around roundabouts. Hemeloids will tell you that it is just a really big roundabout which goes both ways, served by half a dozen mini-roundabouts which only go clockwise, and it's really very simple. Everyone else will tell you to use the bypass, or better still to stay on the motorway you were on in the first place.

Fancy giving it a go?
