[[Magic Roundabout (Swindon)]], which I drove through a week or so
back (and got very confused seeing the signs for), perhaps? Or [[Magic
Roundabout (Hemel Hempstead)]] looks pretty interesting. Either of
these two could have quite a detailed article written about it, though
it would potentially go into too much weirdly technical stuff to be
FA-able.

[[Spaghetti Junction]] is a bit beyond "traffic circle", but has an
undeniable place in UKian pop culture. Or perhaps the (infamous)
[[Hanger Lane Gyratory System]], currently a stub...

I wouldn't want to write these - though it'd serve as an opportunity
to actually read those traffic engineering books I found in a library
sale, they look interesting - but I don't see that it can't be done.
