The Magic Roundabout is a famous traffic roundabout located in Swindon, England. In 2007, an innovative redevelopment of the roundabout took place, transforming it into a unique and captivating attraction. The Magic Roundabout 2007 project aimed to improve the flow of traffic and enhance the overall appearance of the roundabout. The main feature of the redevelopment was the creation of five smaller mini-roundabouts within the existing larger roundabout.

The roundabouts were designed in a spiral arrangement, allowing traffic to flow in a clockwise direction.
