Locals Defend Ghost Roundabout From The Grand Tour

Those who watched the most recent episode of The Grand Tour may have noticed a segment where the boys poke fun at a rather interestingly designed roundabout in Cambridge. Dubbed the “Ghost Roundabout,” this particular roundabout isn’t really a roundabout. It’s more of an illusion meant to deter those who might be running afoul of traffic laws.

During the episode, Jeremy, James, and Richard took some fun jabs at the roundabout, which has now prompted a swift and decisive response of those defending the roundabout’s honor. The Cambridge News reports that reader have flocked to the roundabout’s defense, stating that the addition was a positive thing for the city. Of course, as with any argument, there are always two sides.

The roundabout on Tension Road was designed to mimic a roundabout, which planners hoped will confuse drivers and encourage them to slow down when approaching, Interesting approach, to say the least. However, if you want to see some real confusion, just hop on over here to the States, pull up a chair, grab some popcorn, and set up and any four way stop. No one knows what the hell they are doing.
