VIDEO: Do you remember Doha's old crazy roundabout?
Time for a little bit of Doha nostalgia.
"Crazy Roundabout" was a siamese 3-in-1 compound roundabout that struck fear into the hearts of many Doha drivers before it was banished from the city in the mid-2000s. Its legacy still persists as the intersection that replaced it is still commonly called "Crazy Signal".
Did any of you get the chance to drive on Crazy Roundabout yourself?

I can recall this roundabout from my childhood memories.
Could any one share details on the construction contractors and any interesting specifics behind its construction ?
Used properly, roundabouts are great for traffic flow .... So much history and character lost :O(
its still same in condition. Tidy roads..
That roundabout had been responsible for hundreds of injuries and fatal accidents, before its removal.
It actually should be called "incompetence roundabout" assuming that there was a guy who had planned it that way.
