[Tagging] Signal-controlled roundabouts

[Dan S]

Roundabouts like this sometimes (in Britain) have "part time traffic
lights". So, some times of day it is a true roundabout, and some times
of day it is a circle of road with traffic signals! I don't know the
one you linked, to but it's possible that is what is going on here.
