How would you tag this intersection in Mountain View, California?<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mountain+View,+CA/@37.387343,-122.080352,3a,89.9y,118.3h,70.82t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sHblffm0KZ7pzUXLakrlBQw!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x808fb7495bec0189:0x7c17d44a466baf9b" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mountain+View,+CA/@37.387343,-122.080352,3a,89.9y,118.3h,70.82t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sHblffm0KZ7pzUXLakrlBQw!2e0!4m2!3m1!1s0x808fb7495bec0189:0x7c17d44a466baf9b</a><br>

Should it be tagged as traffic_calming=island instead of highway=mini_roundabout?<br>

The US official definitions defined in the MUTCD are that roundabouts are uncontrolled or have yield signs entering, traffic circles have stop signs. Neither are signal controlled in the MUTCD. We do not have anything equivalent to the mini roundabout in the US (and likely Canada, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the US Virgin Islands) at all, so intersections tagged as such are probably wrong.<br>
