Railway Roundabout, Hobart
Railway Roundabout is a three-lane roundabout in Hobart, Tasmania. It is located on the Brooker Highway, at the top of Liverpool Street. It was originally built for the city's main railway station.[1]
At the centre of the roundabout is a fountain built in 1963. It was restored in 2013 after having been out of service for more than a decade.[2]
Railway Roundabout is the worst accident blackspot in Tasmania.[3]
In 2015, the Roundabout Appreciation Society awarded Railway Roundabout their "one-way gyratory accolade".[1]
