Left Lane doesn't go anywhere!

Came into this sucker a few years ago in the "wrong lane" (to get where I was going anyway), and had to do several "laps" before I could get out of it. It wouldn't have been so bad IF the "rush hour" traffic wasn't all going warp speed around the damn thing.

Is there any sane way to get from the outside lane to the inside lane in less than four laps?

Probably NOT!

I entered in Lane 5 (counting from the inside-out) and needed to be in Lane 6 to make my turn, and THAT took several laps that scared the crap out of me!

This is the one that always has me looking for my compass and this is a country that is mostly motor bikes that travel along any open path and on either side of the road and straight across if that is what it takes to get to your destination.
It compares to the movement of bees inside a hive.
Every time I pass thru here I believe we meet a few hundred thousand passerbys before we head down the correct street.

Clark Griswold got stuck in one of those. 😉 Is that a mini golf course in the center?

My daughter is living there now. She sends snap chat videos that will curl your hair...

What's the problem? It looks like there's only around 10 cars on the whole thing.....;-)

At least people in that country can handle a curve.

There are California drivers that have trouble navigating around a curve in a Toyota Prius, for crying out loud. You know just twist the steering wheel, you don't have to slow to 15 mph.

That looks like a huge waste of money in paint for lane stripes and pedestrian crosswalks, there's not a safe spot out there.

A requirement should be that the designer must drive through this calamity-waiting-to-happen to get from his home to his office every day.

A wild view is a family of 5 on a Honda Moped.
At least the fastest they drive is maybe 25km per hour.
In the city more like 5km per hour.
During the day, I walk everywhere and only take a cab to and from the airport and after dark.
