That looks like they are all making progress. Notice that there are no long tailbacks from the junction. Although it looks like it will end in gridlock it all sorts itself out... overall flow may be better than with traffic lights !

It probably wouldn't work here because people would just block the junction.

 

Reminds me of Limassol on a good day!

Limassol
Ive been on the verge of booking a holiday there for me and the gilrfriend (was gonna rent a car too) but think i'll pass then as ive never driven abroard and dont fancy anything remotely like that

Im thinking more Greece now

 

ever seen the island that surounds the arc de triumph (SP?)
i couldnt beleive that when i first saw it!

 

I saw top gear when they driove round that and the traffic was like 6 lanes wide with no lanes, itr was all over the place
To make matters worse the trio were driving a Zonda, Ford GT and a Ferrieri that was a great Top gear, hamster got the zonda stuck coming out of the underground car park great tv

 

Went to Paris in a friend's car many years ago, and we said we must not drive onto the Champs Elise. We thought the rest of Paris was bad for driving, and then suddenly found ourselves heading for the Arc de Triumph!

It's a mad roundabout, as you're supposed to give way to traffic coming on to it. Made all the worse by the fact that there were coaches stopped in the road so tourists could take photos! There are no road markings - there's too much traffic to see any anyway, just a case of trying to avoid everything and beeping your horn if anything gets too close.....

 

Yes it is true that the Arc de Triomphe is a roundabout apart from all others. And I used to think that Hyde Park Corner was pretty impressive.

Don't let that put you off going to Limassol. Cyprus is a great place and you will love it. Driving out in the country is no problem either.
