What is the craziest junction you know?

Doesn't look that crazy on streetview but purely from the number of incidents I've seen there this double mini roundabout near my halls at Bradford Uni are in with a shout.
Laisteridge Ln

To be fair, it is Bradford so the whole place is a bit mad driving wise.

I always assumed it was this:

But if we're allowed to think outside of the box country, then this?

This could be fun if you could race around it:

About 4 minutes ago

The first one seems very OTT for what could be a simple roundabout or something.

The Hemel one is worse than the Swindon one anyway.

Google maps doesn’t show it well, but without fail, over 3 visits x 5 days, there’d be an accident at this junction both coming and going (morning/evening).

Absolute Chaos!

How did they justify the expenditure on that?

It's been there for decades, since the estate was built; every couple of years they change the priories and give way lines just to make it even less intuitive.

This might not look that bad but it's one junction where, depending on which direction I'm travelling in, I have to stop and think carefully about what I do next.

The one and only time I've driven through Hemel was when there had been a fatal accident on Two Waters Road by the Vauxhall dealership and, unsurprisingly, the road was closed. Unfortunately this gridlocked the whole area for several hours; an absolute nightmare of a road layout, accident or not.

I can still remember the first time I encountered that one. Coming south on the A823 was an 'interesting' experience.
Not so much the direction (I knew where I wanted to go) but the weird layout/road markings - https://goo.gl/maps/pFmmmN9aRbk

Check out these two.
At the first one, the right hand lane marking and the traffic lights...

Then this immediately afterwards.

The sting in the tail isn't clear until you get a bit closer...

A race, eh? Try this at 04.00

Zut alors! C'est les flics, tirons-nous!

Done it, slightly sideways in the Caterham on a Sunday afternoon.

Fairly tame compared to some, but the number of sets of traffic lights here can cause confusion

I always find this one a bit interesting. It looks pretty tame from map view though.

I use this one often, and the main issue is people who are regulars aren't patient with people who aren't. So when someone is inevitably in the wrong lane, they get the beeping etc.

I once ended up taking a lovely tour of Heathrow airport when I took the wrong lane on the busy roundabout near there, and couldn't get over without probably causing a massive shunt or something.
Bloody road markings, signs and impatient people!

This one near me is often the cause of conversation and fear amongst those that cannot drive. In theory and when practiced by those with a brain, it works well. Alll it takes is for some moron to block one of the roundabouts and the design becomes a nightmare. Little bit of thought and making sure your exit is clear before committing is necessary for a serene environment.
