Incomprehensible (spaghetti) intersections

Modern drivers are reasonably and understandably frustrated and confused when they come across these "masterpieces" of traffic:

Crossroads Tom Moreland, crossing inter-state routes 85 and 285 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA

The main intersection - the intersection of Highways 1 and 16, Auckland, New Zealand

These are often referred to as "corrupt" or "Spaghetti" junction, and they are located in almost every major city in the west. Here you can find the street that does not end anywhere, streets that allow traffic in both directions (however, without providing the appropriate lanes), and the streets that changed names more often than spies during the Cold War.

However, this intersection in Moscow, really deserves to be called "uhhhhhhhh"

To make a left in the Rozanov Street, into neighboring Horosev Street, you will need to drive a lot:

When you read the Russian auto forums, you can find out that this is not a unique case, and that these "crossroads" appear a lot in Russia, particularly at the entrances to towns.

Also, an interesting intersection is the one in Israel: an example of where to turn in order to reach Highway 6 next to the city of Nessarim:

Incredible stupidity! Jump from an airplane without a parachute! [video]

When you fall from a height of 3.6 kilometers, you have only 60 seconds before hitting the ground. You reach a speed of 124 miles per hour if you spread your arms and legs during the free fall. Now, jumping out of an airplane without a parachute at high speed and at the same time waiting for another jumper to "fly" near you and tie you to a parachute seems like a certain death, doesn’t it? That is not crazy – it seems totally idiotic and abnormal! But this guy had to try it - and, fortunately he succeeded !
