The world’s most stressful road junctions revealed featuring frustrating flyovers and ridiculous roundabouts
IT doesn't matter if you've had your driving licence for five minutes or 50 years, some road junctions are never fun.
Whether it is roundabouts, motorway exits, T-junctions or side roads, we've all hated one at some point behind the wheel.
The Tom Moreland Interchange, Atlanta
This is America's version of our very own Spaghetti Junction, which can be found in Atlanta, Georgia.
It's obviously confusing people because it was recently voted the third worst junction for bottlenecks in the whole of the US by America's truckers.

The junction has 14 bridges and handles 300,000 vehicles a day. It was opened in 1987 and took four years to complete.
The Harry Pregerson Interchange, Los Angeles
Another US junction, but this time on the West Coast, the harry Pregerson is another 'spaghetti' system.
It was finished in 1993 but used in the filming of the 1994 film Speed before it was officially opened to the public.
The junction 130 feet high at its highest point is named after the judge who presided over its construction.
Spaghetti Junction, Birmingham
Our very own Spaghetti Junction looks tame by comparison, but still strikes fear into drivers.
Opened in 1972, the Gravelly Hill Interchange covers 30 acres of land and serves 18 different routes.
It has 2.5 miles of slip roads across five different levels, and 559 concrete columns keep everything in place.
Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France
This is the end-of-level boss of roundabouts which has thousands of drivers scratching their heads every day.
The Arc de Triomphe itself was commissioned by French Emperor Napoleon in 1806, but today has one of the most confusing road networks in the world around it.
No fewer than 12 straight avenues approach the Arc in the middle and its roundabout can be up to 10 'lanes' deep.
We say lanes - there aren't actually any road markings. Madness.
Huangjuewan flyover, Chongqing, China
China has its own Spaghetti Junction too, called the Huangjuewan Flyover.
Work was started in 2009 but it took until 2017 for this 121-foot-high confusing construction to be opened.
It has a total of 15 different ramps, which combined are some 16km long heading in eight different directions.
Avenida 9 de Julio, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Last but not least is Avenida 9 de Julio in Argentina.
Rather than a junction, this road is a major thoroughfare through the city of Buenos Aires.

It's here because it is 3km long with a crazy seven lanes of traffic heading in each direction, making it the widest street in the world.
Four-lane roads join it at regular intervals meaning drivers need to remain switched on at all times.
