Which roundabout has the most exits?

roundabout.jpgQuestion

I was using my satnav last week and wondered this: what’s the roundabout in the UK with the most exits?
Debbie, West Wycombe

Answer

Name: Mark, Fulham
Qualification:
Answer: In Swindon, there is the most confusing road transit system in the world called The Magic Roundabout. There is one big roundabout and off it, there are six mini-roundabouts off it. If each of those has around four exits, the entire system must have around 35 exits.
(James O’Brien: But the original roundabout only has six – then the other exits are on the satellite roundabouts. A texter tells us the main roundabout has only six exits.)

Name: Bob, Mayfair
Qualification: I’m a Londoner!
Answer: It’s Seven Dials in Soho, just up the road from the LBC studios. It’s a perfect little roundabout with seven exits.
