Footage broadcast by Australian news channels shows motorists struggling to get to grips with the odd roundabout in Sydney’s suburb of Liverpool.

Local councillor Peter Ristevski told Nine that he received more than 300 complaints in one weekend and didn’t know how the roundabout was approved.

Jason Breton, chief executive of Liverpool City Council, subsequently announced that it had been removed.

Photos of the road suggest it is now a simple intersection and no longer a roundabout.

The road is set to benefit from a $1 billion AUD upgrade programme in the near future.
