Oh, a multiple-lane roundabout. Yeah I saw those, and aren't that bad, see the Plaza España comment. @cambria 's example in the other hand, is a fucking nightmare.
Those are pretty horrible, what makes this example even more dogshit is that it is not actually a roundabout. It's called one, it looks like one, but it ain't. It's just a large, multi-lane circular intersection.
The right of way regulations. Traffic inside the circle does not have the right of way, sometimes, but then sometimes it does. Every continous line in there marks a "you have to stop for incoming traffic".
It's most easily seen if you're approaching on the leftmost lane from the South-West. Following the markings, you may only exit to the South East or the south. Or be stuck in an indefinite loop.
Wtf, that's like combining the worst aspects of a roundabout (land use, shitty for pedestrians and being confusing) and the worst aspects of an intersection (getting t-boned and dieing).
wat
Think this I guess
It's called the East City Roundabout. It is not a roundabout, it's just a circular intersection.
And there's bonus tram tracks cutting through the middle

Now the tram line running through the roundabout, MFers build a tunnel goddamit.
Trams through roundabouts are actually a great way to provide transit priority, you only need to stop car traffic in two places.
Then what would it make it a propper roundabout?
