How are you going to properly map the first one? There is no 
channelization or anything that makes the intersection circular. The 
curbs at the four corners have the typical intersection radius. It's a 
square with a circle in the middle. It's also designed for fire trucks 
to roll over the edges, since they can't otherwise fit. (also the one in 
the second link, but it at least pretends to be a ring of driving 
surface around a central point)
