That's not what I would call a chicane. For me, they generally involve obstructions protruding from the sides of a road. There's a picture on Wikipedia here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/One-lane_chicane_1.jpg.

    Please pardon the ignorant American question:

    What is the difference between traffic_calming=chicane and a small
    roundabout?  Is it based on who has the right of way?

    Does anyone have an example of something like this in the US?  Or is
    it safe to say that these don't exist here?


Here is an example in Seattle. http://g.co/maps/nvhfh We have traffic calming islands all over the city. According to state law, there is no legal requirement to go around the island to make a left turn so traffic direction shouldn't be shown.
