Should you be a mkgmap user then running it with the 
--check-roundabout-flares option will result in identification of 
problems with, yes you guessed it, roundabout flare roads.  
Specifically, it will warn about:
- Flare roads that have oneway set in the wrong direction
- Flare roads that are not set to oneway
- Flare roads that do not converge to a flare point

In addition, the --check-roundabouts flag will result in warning about 
flare roads that have been given the junction=roundabout tag.
