Just after sending this I realized that I must have misread your 
question. You mean why most roundabouts are made up of more than one way.

Initially it is because of the AND import. The AND dataset was such that 
between every junction of 3 or more roads there was a sperate way.
Now it is just convenient if you have different relations (like a bus 
line) over the roundabout. Then you can indicate exactly which side a 
relation takes.
