I'd argue the best way to see Milton Keynes is from afar......see it in the rear view mirror and it means you've been there.

Had the "pleasure" of visiting Milton Keynes twice. Both times to see Huddersfield V MK Dons. Got lost both times. Who's bright idea was it to have a zillion round-a-bouts?!?!?

Have you ever been to Swindon away - they have that "nest" of roundabouts, maybe 6 or 8 of em, mind-boggling.

Old Tucky gets annoyed if you can't spell it properly.
You are a marked man chrisd.
I drove through there last Wednesday. I'm hoping I never have to do it again
. There was zero flow of traffic, awful system, horrible as an outsider and for anyone I nearly took out last Wednesday afternoon / early evening I apologise. Ultimately though, blame the clown who designed the system and clearly had a buidling firm specialising in roundabouts.

I lived there for 4 years (90-94)
It was a great place then.
Honestly ?

Correcting someone with word salad is bad form.

The issue with these "magic roundabouts " ,as they call them, is that they're designed by a computer model. As are many junction changes.I drove through there last Wednesday. I'm hoping I never have to do it again
They will have done traffic surveys, working out how much goes which way at whatever time, plugged it all into the model and it spits out a junction.
If, and it's probably the biggest IF the world has seen, everybody follows the rules, doesn't rush, stays in lane etc etc....it will work.
The trouble is that life simply isnt like that. And it only takes one person to try and buck the system and the whole thing collapses on its arse. Once that has happened it's like dominoes falling..
Hence the struggles to get through them.
Hemel had one... utter chaos as i remember

Milton Keynes is very easy to get around once you get used to to it - H and V roads on a grid - nice and simple and traffic flows well
Used to go on the Hemel one every day and it works when you drive on it regulary- it’s when someone arrives to it and just gets confused , seen it abroad in a number of places as well - and they seem to work

Still got it.Hemel had one... utter chaos as i remember
6 in a circle. And the test centre used to be 200 yards from it.
The number of times people went the wrong way they eventually started saying " just go up to the roundabouts and go any way you like and I'll take it from there"
They're great fun if you know what you're at but a nightmare the first time you see one.

I go "around" it a lot on my way to RAF Halton. It certainly looks worse than it actually is.
is the Kodak Bulding still there?
