Today, most of the roundabouts in France are ... roundabouts where
traffic in the ring has right of way and they are tagged with
"junction=roundabout" (perhaps 99% of the rings). Since years our
community (and drivers ;) is aware about the difference with "traffic
circles" (no signage, with or without traffic signals) with priority
to the right (traffic entering into the ring). The famous "arc de
triomphe" in Paris is one of these junctions which are today the
exceptions ([1]).
