Description

See roundabout#Mini roundabouts on Wikipedia

A roundabout is a road junction where (if there are several vehicles) the traffic goes around a point in the middle, and the traffic on the roundabout has right of way. The mini-roundabout usually does not have a physical island in the middle but is painted on the road. That means that if there is one single vehicle, or two going in opposite directions, it is common to drive straight across rather than going round.
