to think the Hanger Lane Gyratory system is not the worst junction in Britain?

[secunda]

Apparently it is. This is the list. Imo Marble Arch is worse. Hanger Lane is pretty easy - just follow the signs. Never understood the fuss about it.

I don't really have any problems but this could just be practice I drive through there at least 5 times a week.

Driving into City Centre including Marble Arch, much much worse, which is why I never do it, it is hair raising.

I've driven all but one of those and they are fine. I have learnt to drive in central London so I suppose nothing gets worse, but I have not driven the magic roundabout in Swindon, I think that would be a worry!

Elephant and castle gets my vote. Horrible place to drive.

magic roundabout much worse
feels like everyone has right of way except you

OMG I love the term "gyratory system". Nothing can be that bad with such a marvellous name.

Hanger Lane is not as bad as Marble Arch or Elephant, both of which are terrifying for a learner such as myself!

hyde park corner is worse
i am a shit driver but even I can manage hanger lane

They take learners on to the Elephant? Would of put me off driving for life I think.

I just like the name of it

I struggle with the Scilly Isles near Esher.
Always get in the wrong lane and have to go round again.

Hanger Lane is hell.
Try coming out of that Holiday Inn in order to go East on the A4. Have to cross 5 lanes between one traffic light stopping and the other starting. I used to do it regularly and it put years on me.

Not too keen on the Chiswick Roundabout either.

Hnager lane is def NOT teh worst. Used to live V close to it and have cycled round it more than driven. Occasionally ( in car with less confident driver)one needs to take 2 turns round it to sort out getting into the right lane.

Not a word about the Leeds Ring Road I notice. Shome mishtake shurely?

sorry but that is pants - it has a motorway exit - for goodness sake even if you get in the worng lane you can still come backonto the m5 going north if you tryed to go to wales - there is an escape route back to the m5 to go norht. Going south is a doddle you just move to the middle lane and sit with all the middle lane motorists or overtake

thats barmy to have it on alist - its easy peasey

suppose it is the mail though

I have done hanger lane and the elephant and not bad for either, but I don't have to do them on a reguar basis

I grew up minutes from Hanger Lane. Once ended up there on my bike, by mistake, trying to get home from my first job (aged 15 at a local pharmacy). That was scary.

Anyway, since then, I have married DH from Devon, and he assures me that Penn Inn is officially the worst traffic junction in the UK.

PS I also love the term Gyratory System

magic roundabout, Swindon is easy peasy after the first few goes!

Hyde Park Corner can be a little nippy for the inexperienced.

I was scared to drive on spaghetti junction until I actually drove on it and realised it wasn't that bad.

Still hate the cathedral junction on the M8. It is on the fast lane.

For it to have been a fair poll, they would have had to only allow people to vote if they had driven on every single road intersection in Britain!

I love this site it has clearly been lovingly put together by highway anoraks and includes my personal least favourite, Grove Farm Triangle in Leicester.

I LOVE the Swindon magic roundabout. So many different ways to get across.

do you go to the left - or the right

Omg I would fall apart on that round about. Give me thr elephant any day.

My car broke down on the magic roundabout at rush hour when when I was pregnant. Had to get out and push it off! LOL!
