Awesome, I'm from Swindon myself, this saves me trying to build it :)

You can do in-road roundabouts... ish: http://imgur.com/gallery/mFFRO/

This is way handy. I have found that this handles a fairly even amount of traffic from various directions very well.

It doesn't though handle high rates of traffic from say point A to B since any sort of backup can lock up much of the roundabout in several directions.

Still as sort of a downtown hub and spokes with a bypass highway over it for through traffic... this works GREAT and looks great.

There's a great video on the IRL version of this here:

I think a redditor described it perfectly with a "we drive as fast as possible, crying and screaming hoping we find out exit before we die." That said, I've got no issues with using it as a baseline to try and create a bigger one =) I think a six side or eight side would look sexy.

not too bad Just a shame in road roundabouts aren't a thing The magic roundabout would be hard to do in any game but this is a pretty good aproximation

@Arconic: You're very correct there, unfortunately C:S doesn't have any in-road roundabouts so this was the best I could do to recreate it. This is more a design based on how it works rather than a strict recreation of it :)

@jivali: Unless you actually increase the size of the roundabout, you can't really add any more roads to/from it. You could however make one exit split off into two roads, same with having two roads merge into one from the entry points. Best thing you can really do currently with it. If there's enough interest I might make some different sized versions.

Doesn't actually look like the Swindon Roundabout :(

Can it be enlarged by adding more entry/exits?

@alwaysthefool: I'll work on an elevated version tomorrow if I have the time :)

Any way we can get an elevated version of this to avoid slope too steep errors?

Fixed the roads leading to and from the roundabout, they work better when split as one-ways. I also recommend using highways for these, but any type of one-way works.

Also, the other "left-side drive" asset is now unneeded, subscribe to this one instead.

Thanks! Found out that the game will reverse it for you so only this one is needed :)

I was curious to see if anyone would impliment this after seeing a video about this so called "Magic" roundabout on youtube. Looks like you've done a good job! Also, I'm not sure if you need to make a seperate version for LHD and RHD, I'm pretty sure the game will reverse it for you if you attempt to place a RHD intersection in a LHD game.
