Roundabout. This simple animated gif packs the most information into the simplest presentation I can recently recall. As a bonus, every single vehicle signals! Moreover, something quite impossible for a paper encyclopedia. (BTW, this train wreck of an image - obviously - does not work correctly as a thumbnail. See the original for the way it should.)

Yes the gif is my original work. Hi. I'm no artist, so I'm sorry that it doesn't look that pretty. I was trying to squeeze all the neccesary information into the gif, and replace the previous animation which didn't show cars yeilding. I would be happy if someone wants to make it more aesthetically pleasing, as long at it shows as much information as my gif.

- Maybe I'm not seeing this right, but it appears that all the cars leave tracks and by the end, the whole picture is a mess. Am I the only one seeing that?

- there is a bug in mediawiki's thumbnailer for animated GIFs which produces this effect. Look at the article (which has the unthumbnailed version) and all should be well. --

- Support. It's perfect - all the signals are correct, all the possible cases are shown, Mintguy even correctly models the unwise (too trusting) entry of Jason-in-his-Astra (yellow). --

- Support, but why not provide a mirrored version also? Unfortunately it is impossible for me to follow this one since it contradicts any sense of spatial intuition I have developed over the last several years ;) -

- (comment) I suspect if you asked Mintguy he would do one. But there are (at least) two strategies used for RH roundabouts. In
Massachusetts I believe traffic on the roundabout yields, in other places it's those joining. And the lane discipline and signalling rules presented here are UK specific also, so I don't know how they'd translate to other jurisdictions. --

- (comment) I've done a quick flip of the image at
Image:UK Roundabout 8 Cars flipped.gif. Is this applicable to RHD countries?

Oppose, please do not mind, while the image is informational it lacks in aesthetics. --

- Oppose. Lacks aesthetic appeal and also I'm British so of little interest. Was intrigued when I saw the chaotic thumbnail!--[[User:HamYoyo|

- Did
User:Mintguy actually create this image? As you point out, there is no copyright information accompanying this image. -
Bevo 16:07, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure he did (as I think I remember some intermediate versions being bickered over). I've left a message on Mintguy's talk page asking for info and attributions - but Mintguy appears to be on wikiholiday (no contribs for 2 weeks) so we may not get a response in time. --

- We can be patient and wait for the answer. -

- The attribution concern is now resolved.
User:Mintguy is the creator and has granted explicit permission for use. -

- Support. I had to think on this one a bit. While it does not look that pretty, it _does_ show a lot of information. However, it would be excellent if some work was done on this, in order to make the images less flat, and _slightly_ more realistic. -
Frazzydee 20:25, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I might give redrawing this animation to make it look a bit better a try. I'll see if I have time tomorrow or on Saturday.

Let us just wait and give it some time - we are not in a hurry. I'd love to support a better verion. --
Ankur 21:25, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC) Support, Nice Job. --

- Updated. Will need a little more work, though.
