Dear Prabhas and Abhishek,
 junction <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:junction>
roundabout<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:junction%3Droundabout>
[image:
Way] <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Elements#Way> [image: Closed
way]<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Elements#Area_.28closed_way_.29>
This
automatically implies oneway <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway>
=yes, the oneway direction is defined by the sequential ordering of nodes
within the Way. This applies on a way, tagged with
highway<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway>
=* already.
There is yet another option, which is close to highway=mini_roundabout, it
could be Junction = roundabout as well,
I guess both works,

With regards,

Hempal Shrestha
