It's really simple, it's just 2 roundabouts one inside the other, the inner roundabout goes anticlockwise and the outer one goes clockwise.

I once heard after you get in it's difficult to get back out - at the very least you'll be dizzy if you're lucky to escape back to the A4, don't do it."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Theres no island in the middle of the Swindon one, just a great open space.
The only way to approach it is to pick your exit and aim for it! Then put your foot hard down.
It's not a coincidence that the fire and ambulance stations are 100 yards from it. And it always seems to be covered in broken glass and wreckage!'elf and safety guruComment

The borough of Swindon, I scarcely need remind the reader, lies at a distance of approximately 100 miles West of London, and the light and heat it receives from the sun is barely half of that received by Staines. Yet so vain is man, and so blinded by his vanity, that no writer, up to the very end of the twenty first century, expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there, or indeed at all, beyond its earthly level.
And yet, they came.
