This reminds me Bracknell, Berks
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.41363&mlon=-0.75054&zoom=15>,
where, in my youth time, I discovered real size roundabouts compared to
the toy ones I see over here, especially those built lately (1).
They have one with a "Met office" inside and even one with a piece of
railway between two bridges.
It's lovely to have things inside, I've seen cow statues, for the
amusement of the children while dad revolves 5 times waiting for mum to
have found their way on OSM.
And yes they tag all that as roundabouts, strangely enough in several
pieces and they're one-way, mind you.

Why not?

Cheers,

André.


(1) My definition for them is: a stone in the middle of the road giving
right of way to those who U-turn around it over those driving straight on.
