This document provides a summary of some of the worst intersections from around the world. It begins with an introduction and then provides images and brief descriptions of difficult intersections from China, Moscow, Paris, Shanghai, the UK, Chicago, Taiwan, New Jersey, Atlanta, and the UK that involve tight turns, many lanes merging at odd angles, and complicated pedestrian crossings. It concludes by stating that after seeing these intersections, most daily commutes don't seem so bad.

1. Worst. Intersections.
Ever.
You’ll look at your daily commute in a whole different light
after seeing some of these bad boys…

2.  Think your drive to work is bad in the morning?
Well, unless it involves one of the following,
chances are it isn’t the world’s worst.
 A guide to the world’s most confusing (and
frustrating!) intersections.
Introduction.

3.  First up, we’ve got
this. Definitely not
one for those
prone to vertigo…

China’s spiral bridge approach.

4.  Phew! This one isn’t
the prettiest from an
aerial standpoint. You
can definitely
appreciate the
difficulty you’d have
navigating it though…

Taganskaya Square, Moscow

5.  The Place de l’Etoile
which goes around
the Arc De Triomphe
in Paris may be
picturesque, but it’d
be a nightmare to
drive!

6.  All I’m going to say is
try getting from A to B
here. The picture says
enough!

More Shanghai madness

7.  The UK doesn’t get off
by any stretch of the
imagination, this one
is so complicated that
it needs its own
guide…
Swindon’s magic roundabout!

8.  Proving that America
always does it as well
as anyone else,
here’s this ladder-like
intersection from
Chicago

Chicago

9.  This intersection is
made super
complicated by the
unique pedestrian
crossing. Getting
through that without
breaking your
windshield might be
easier said than done! Image by Seabaryo/Flickr

10.  Just looking at this
interchange in New
Jersey is enough to
give me a sore head.
Wouldn’t want to drive
it! Image from Google Maps
Newark Airport Interchange

11.  This one in Atlanta
looks more like a
spider’s web than a
stretch of road.

Tom Moreland Interchange

12.  We’ll end it on the
original spaghetti
junction – the UK’s
Gravely Hill
Interchange.

13.  See? That daily grind isn’t so bad after all,
right?
The end.
