What you just described is the exact definition of a mini-roundabout.
 Mini-roundabout doesn't mean you can legally drive over it in any vehicle,
it means that you can physically drive over it if you need to. The
australian guidelines are wrong, in this case.  And yes, I know how they
evolved to this state, I've kept up on the discussion over the years.  But
with the recent clarifications to the definition of mini-roundabout and
roundabout in the main tagging guideline, and the fact that you can't tag a
fully drawn out roundabout as traversable, there is now a need for using
mini-roundabout in Australia.
