The "gyratory" is a large roundabout on the south-western approach to Leeds, with traffic light control, notorious both for congestion at peak times (which in the evening tails back into the city centre) and for being intimidating to those not familiar with the lane arrangement. Even as an experienced city cyclist I would not wish to ride round it. Fortunately there is a pedestrian / cycle bridge over the southern approach road, from which this photo is taken.
