That image (The Magic Roundabout) is in Swindon, about an hours drive from where I live. I’ve travelled through it a few times and it’s not as bad as it looks.
By coincidence I was chatting to someone a few weeks ago - an ex-police officer. He told me that when it opened (50 years ago) he was on duty to deal with all the minor road accidents on it - and there were some. No one had really experienced anything quite like it in England before.

One of my best buddies is a Scouser (that means from Liverpool for those not from the UK) and he said he had driven it many times, and like you said was not that bad.
But it still makes a great photo for those that have never seen it.
