most are NOT that bad, and actually work if the signage is right.
that moscow situation tho, is REALLY screwed up. i bet a lot of drivers take the "short cut." no doubt, it is an illegal left turn.

Aside from the difficulties these pose the driver, compare the amount of land used for these intersections compared to the land that is developed with buildings or left green. Infrastructure for private vehicles takes up a massive amount of space.

FYI dutchdropper
I have to frequent Swindon on a regular basis and one of my offices is on the other side of the magic roundabout. At first I was daunted about the task of tackling such a monstrosity, but I quickly realised it really works as it has a series of contraflow movements that keep the traffic moving and always give you an opportunity to circumnavigate around it. You can also go loads of different routes through it which boggles the mind sometimes.

Too bad it"s a fake! The last image, the one with "imagebank" in the bottom-right corner, is so obvious for a number or reasons - floating roads with no supports, inconsistent shadown, and for god"s sake, cut-and-rotate 35 degrees-and-paste! The world IS a fkd place, but geez, don"t believe everything you see.

These are the pyramids of our civilization. Those borne in the decades ahead will have something relatively permanent to remember their Fore Fathers and Moms. Perhaps they will understand how hard it is to let go of a steering wheel. A century from today, agriculture may be one of the few reasons people have to go outside.

Its too bad that most of those images were just Mix-masters, or at least that is the name I learned for them, basically a system of exits and on-ramps for a road with a lot of traffic flow. I've seen ones about those size in Texas, quite impressive in person, but perfectly comprehensible as long ,as apexalex said, the signs are posted correctly.
Not to say that there aren't some insane intersections that are actual intersections as I think of them (where roads converge around a stop light. There is one that i loath trying to navigate. Its a five point intersection that cuts across a major highway that leads to a residential area on one side, and an even more confusing system of entrances and exits to a shopping center, which is also focused around its own stop light, on the other. There are absolutely no directional signs, lines, or lights and about six ways you could end up going against the flow of traffic, and about three points that you might very well get into an accident. You just have a pick a direction, and pray.

Oh my word, I didn't know if I should roll on the floor laughing or shake my head in disgust. Those are definitely engineering MARVELS but they're so confusing and ridiculously useless. Who the heck came up with that? There must have been far simpler ways of doing it – or, at least, rather put a turn off somewhere else. I can't believe those roads even stay solid in the air like that – it looks like they'll fall at any moment!

I live within 10 minutes walk from this crossing in Moscow.
In fact, this red line is a result of some routing software developed when the construction of a major Moscow road, the Third Circle, was over.
Though rhere is no left turn indeed, one can drive straight (well, slightly to the left) to the 1st Khoroshevsky Lane, turn back (allowed across almost all the lane) and make a right turn to this very Khoroshevskoye Shosse/Highway at green light.

Why does it hurt your eyes? That's almost exactly how the '62 'vette looked... They almost have it spot on, save for some minor modern cues. I think it's an excellent job for a conversion.

No, that is not almost exactly how the 62 vette looked. It's been chopped and shopped and not a good job if you ask me.
Making a old classic like that modern does not do anything for the car. All it does is make a couple of special editions to be auctioned off for a profit.

I've seen more of these around lately and I have to say they are REALLY well done. The builder is using higher quality body materials than GM is using. I should have gotten one when I had the chance. CRC is now selling exclusively through a high-end dealership in Seattle because they had too many orders to handle. The price is way beyond me now.
But really, you have to see one of these bad boys up close before you can decide if you like it or not. (I don't know why you wouldn't love it...)They're a car show in themselves. I've driven one and when we stopped for lunch, everyone at the joint was coming over to ask questions. It's the best of both worlds: new tech and comfort with the graceful looks of a 1962 Corvette. You can get in and DRIVE, no guilt, no stress that you're putting wear and tear on 45 year old materials. They are amazing cars!

Anonymous, thanks for this
I rather like these cars, too

just a little fyi...these cars are far from being chopped and shopped and auctioned for profit. These cars aren't even "kits". They are hand built from the beginning of the process. Carbon fiber is used for the body mods, there are modified original 62 parts and everything else is fabricated in house. All of the work done is very meticulous. These cars have been featured in several magazines like hotrod, corvette enthusiast and even motor trend to name a couple. Crc has sold over 40 of these cars and sales show no sign of slowing. Ken Lingenfelter even bought two himself. Clearly mark does not know what he is looking at if everyone else who has seen one absolutely loves them

@Avi - Not "photoshopped" as such, but surely the colour saturation turned up somewhat? People routinely do that with a lot of photographs (many Canons do it automatically in the camera, I understand) and it spoils the photos for me thinking "surely it can't REALLY look like THAT..."

OMG it's like an orgasm for my eyes! Seriously!

Saturation is way, WAY overdone in all of these images. Many cameras boost saturation a little because consumers like it (you can turn off artificial enhancement settings in camera menu).
On overcast days, software built in to cameras often gets confused and can especially "overcook" the saturation resulting in SCARY photos like this. I say scary because for many people, the brain rejects natural settings when they are obviously unnatural. Annoys the mind when something is obviously false.
The key is to dial DOWN the saturation in your photo editor (Photoshop or anything with saturation adjustment) when your camera freaks out in this manner. Natural bright color is much more engaging and appealing.
What is odd (or even suspicious) about these photos are the blue sky images. When the overall light is bright like on a blue sky day and you are not shooting in shade, then the in-camera software usually doesn't get this freaked out with its over saturation.
If your camera is screwing up this dramatically on bright blue sky days, you need to try shooting with color enhancement features turned off, or... buy a new camera.
Don't mean to sound like an obnoxious know-it-all with this comment, but these photos would look so much better if they were natural and not artificially over saturated. It pains me to look at these images, knowing how beautiful they could have been if not ruined with unnatural saturation.
