No, this is an exception in Croatia. Croatian Highway Code is the same as elsewhere in Europe, traffic inside the roundabout has right of way. It just seems to me that we should call this a roundabout because anyone that sees this thinks "roundabout" as a first thought, even without the sign. Maybe a strange roundabout, but a roundabout. If a routing application says "go to the first roundabout and then take the second exit" everybody will know how to follow those instructions. If an application says "turn right at the first junction, and then right at the second junction" no one will know what it's trying to say. I've never heard of this "turning circle" term. Maybe we should call this a turning circle, and then beg routing application developers to treat it the same as roundabout.
