Canis Major
The Magic Roundabout
Approaching Swindon's Magic Roundabout, five mini-roundabouts in a circle making one big one. Created in 1972 from a design by Frank Blackmore it had, during its pilot phase, a policeman on each roundabout to make sure drivers could cope. Despite its complexity it does have a good safety record. It was originally named County Islands but has now universally been renamed after the children's TV series. The stadium in the background is the County Ground, home of Swindon Town FC.
