A1 Spott roundabout plan?

Ive done the first 3 steps and just astonished at the maze people will experience, when wanting a simple 20 min introduction to Ai. Did no-one user test this? It's a terrible mess.

Three more weekends before Christmas and some mild air and rain on the way for the early December weekend. For snow you might have to be on high ground, in the dark.
