This reminds me Bracknell, Berks <http://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.41363&mlon=-0.75054&zoom=15>, where, in my youth time, I discovered real size roundabouts compared to the toy ones I see over here, especially those built lately (1). They have one with a "Met office" inside and even one with a piece of railway between two bridges. It's lovely to have things inside, I've seen cow statues, for the amusement of the children while dad revolves 5 times waiting for mum to have found their way on OSM. And yes they tag all that as roundabouts, strangely enough in several pieces and they're one-way, mind you.
Why not? Cheers, André. (1) My definition for them is: a stone in the middle of the road giving right of way to those who U-turn around it over those driving straight on.
