Thats the main point. In Germany we have a solution of "last resort"
which is called "Rechts vor links" - So when there is no other 
rules of priority its "Right before left".

Other jurisdications dont have this so there is a problem with producing
junctions with "equal priority". The UK solution is the "mini
roundabout".

So a mini roundabout is really "mini" or "tiny" - Not necessarily round.

The problem here starts with the imagery in the Wiki which IMHO dont
show mini roundabouts, but random roundabouts with traversable center.

And main distinction people read in the wiki is "traversable center" so
everything with a traversable center gets tagged by mappers as mini
roundabout.


So we have a problem with the wiki documentation.

  Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
