Where and when was the first roundabout?

Traffic lights first appeared in London in late 1868 outside the Houses of Parliament, and they exploded. :shock:

Has a roundabout ever exploded?

I have no appreciation of the things after MrsE got hit by a car from her left as she was crossing one.

Letchworth in North Hertfordshire claims that honour.

Apparently yes, although I can't make any sense at all of that Web site - it just showed up when I Googled. Seems to be some kind of in joke.

This dose not have anything to do with the most boring men in Britain Calender does it? I read in my local paper about a gentleman who will be featured after his obsession with traffic cones and has amassed a collection well over 50!!! :shock:
