Roundabout a circular way, tagged as junction=roundabout (+
highway=$classification), is a circular way, which joins multiple
linear ways.  A roundabout has a central reservation unsuitable for
driving.

mini-roundabout a  node tagged as highway=mini_roundabout joins
multiple linear ways but is smaller and has no central reservation.
the mini-roundabout is often a painted circle in an intersection.

Turning circle. A node tagged, highway=turning_circle, is a wide area
in a dead-end road to allow a vehicle to turn around to the direction
they came from.
