I concede it is difficult to do it right with a lane layout as... creative... as here, but jesus christ, it is even more difficult to do any worse than what they've done here. It might even have been better not to bother with any signage at all. And 4:55... If this layout doesn't kill anyone it would be because of a lack of pedestrian traffic.

For almost thirteen years this was my comute twice a week with my lorry. Took me some time to work out all the different lanes and exits. But I’ve managed. Driving around in Chatelineau is worse, though.

Seems like they have renewed many buildings in Charleroi. It doesn’t look as bad as it did several years ago.

3:12 Yes, they have replaced the old moldy board ! But this new sign looks alike a French road sign.

I agree, but I don’t understand why they chose the French signs. Also: love the ‘signage’ painted on the asphalt

There are probably several intersections in the world that would cover the entire footprint of this ... thing. I think there are some similarly silly things in the UK. Charleroi is a very curious place and a case study for Belgian politics (and 70s infrastructure ideas)... just look up the metro with several built but unused stations etc.

The metro also has a crossover point where the trains switch sides, because the doors are only on one side, and the platforms switched sides. The channel "The Tim Traveller" has done a video on that. I find Wallonia a thoroughly depressing place. It's been ages since I last drove through it, but especially the bit along the railway line between Brussels and the French border strikes me as an area where nobody really wants to live. The Ardennes are nice, though.

You would also need much larger and more complicated intersections. And the time saved would be negligent. That being said this solution is something I would draw as a kid for fun for my own home town of Kristiansand, central part about 1 sq km. A 5-ish km ring road would ... well yeah absolutely ruin the entire town and be bad in almost every way - just like this 60s fever dream in Charleroi.
