bus #1 needs to move so bus #2 can move
bus #2 needs to move so bus #3 can move
bus #3 needs to move so bus #4 can move
bus #4 needs to move so bus #1 can move
To clarify: this is not intentional art. This is an engineering edge case turned real by bad luck.
Normally 3 buses can use around-about without issue, and there’s plenty of 4 bus patterns that could use the intersection without creating a knot, so bus drivers probably aclimate to having another bus or two in the loop, but this just happened to have the bad luck needed to create the knot.
(And OP is calling it an art installation tongue in cheek because it’s not going anywhere for a while)
Buses stuck
o.o"
bus #1 needs to move so bus #2 can move
bus #2 needs to move so bus #3 can move
bus #3 needs to move so bus #4 can move
bus #4 needs to move so bus #1 can move

It we’re forcing a programming analogy, I’d go with deadlock over loop.
Spinlock even
I dread what “answer” this may bring but…why?

Thank you for clarifying. People are so silly.
