On my way home, I encounter many obstacles. Crowds of fighting schoolchildren and banks of school buses are amongst these, but the worst obstacle, and arguably the most pointless of them all is the mini roundabout.

An example mini-roundabout
The mini roundabout is located at the bottom of Spring Road in Market Weighton, merging traffic from the high street, Spring Road itself and two roads leading to the bypass. The whole design for this was to stop queuing up the high street and to improve the traffic flow in general.
