Traffic lights on roundabouts are extremely common, and nobody in the UK would consider them anything but a roundabout. Roundabouts can come in all shapes and sizes. Whilst I cannot think of any that have stop signs, I cannot see why they wouldn't in a country where stop signs are commonly used. Having driven in Canada, the number of stop signs in places I would not have expected them to be did is one of my memories of driving there. Stop signs are quite rare in the UK and are mainly used on blind junctions.
