Divorced Kevin, from Redditch, Worcs., said: “I am passionate about roundabouts and I want to see more countries embrace them.

“Research shows they cut more accidents than traffic lights and they are help fuel efficiency because there is a constant flow of cars rather than it being stop-start.

“I have been inundated with pictures of roundabouts from around the world but my favourite is in Otford in Kent.”

“It’s a roundabout with a duck pond and a cabin called ‘Duckingham Palace’ on it. It’s so quintessentially English. It’s got listed status and it is simply gorgeous to look at.”

His international calendar features a picture of the infamous Pearl roundabout in Bahrain’s capital in Manama which was demolished in March 2011 by government forces.

Before it was torn down the roundabout, which featured a huge pearl supported by six huge ‘sails’ projecting into the sky, was the focal point for protestors.

January’s entry features a rare roundabout in the Japanese city of Sekigata.

Meanwhile February shows a roundabout featuring a replica of a mosque in Charminar, Karachi, Pakistan.

Another favourite of Kevin’s is a roundabout in the French town of Morbier which features a giant monument of cheese and a grandfather clock.

Meanwhile other roundabouts, including a ‘double kerbers’ in Mexico City.

Kevin added: “There is such a rich history surrounding roundabouts and some very clever designs.

“I particularly like double kerbers which are basically a path around the outside of the island allowing pedestrians to walk on.”

The 2016 Roundabouts of the world calendar cost £9.99.
