The Island's newest roundabout is attracting media attention from around the world.

The roundel on Douglas Promenade was finished this week, and features concentric circles marking its junction with Broadway.

UK national newspaper The Sun has featured the new roundabout in a story which describes the road markings as "bizarre".

Meanwhile, US TV station Fox News has also covered the story, saying drivers are already baffled by the junction.
