Not this one, then?  No? OK, how about these, then? Or maybe you can pick out something from this little lot!

Wasn't this one on the news recently?
Can't say I've had the pleasure though....

What's that ... Swindon? That one has been there for years. Mind you, Milton Keynes also has a few interesting ones, and (as I have mentioned before) ... doesn't Harlow have a few? Also Bracknell (if I remember rightly) ... and many other places too numerous to list. And of course, in some parts of the UK the famous "mini-roundabouts" have been known to pop-up (seemingly over night) in the most unlikely (and, more often than not, unsuitable) of locations! Meanwhile, this doesn't look so bad as I recall. Maybe it's the time of day (night). And, lastly, here's more of the same. But, finally (and for those who want more) ... check out these! Enjoy!

Actually the roundabouts in Jeddah are being replaced with fly-overs. The landscape is slowly changing.

Man, the roundabouts in Jeddah have always been "fly-overs"! Ha, ha.  But to be honest, I always found the intersections with traffic lights (I can't really use the phrase "stop-lights" here) to be by far the most dangerous. Such as the ones at the new "cities", like the grid system in Jubail, for instance.

Traffic lights are for foreigners, was a much used phrase in the A&E, Yanbu Royal commission, even today there are still no clear rules as to 'who has the right of way'

I always thought it was Buicks at 100 mph! Well, that and "there's nothing coming, inshallah", of course.

Not looking for other traffic!, the left hand door mirror is used for checking the left nostril, the rear view mirror is for the right nostril and/or dental work. the use of the mobile phone has rendered the steering wheel to become a knee operated device, as the right arm is usually slung over the back of the seat.

Surely you've heard of the phrase "natural selection"?  Anyway, you've forget to mention "adjusting the head-dress"!
