    1. If you overshoot your destination, do you have to drive another 74 hours to get back to it?

    2. If you turn around (going against the circle), does it go up in time?

    3. Why did it stop at 74? Why not infinity or 99? I can plot 79 hours from Key West Florida to Anchorage Alaska

    What a neat bug.

            https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+Magic+Roundabout,+Swindon,+UK/@51.5626913,-1.7719816,191

            zooming it, it feels like a pinball playfield :)

            The truly mind-bending part is that the inner circle runs backward.

            What’s up with the strange assphault squares in between the inner and outer? Did they used to have grass or statues or something?
