I'm not saying that a mini-roundabout isn't a roundabout, it is, and all the normal signs and laws apply. What it also is, however, is traversable. If you have a vehicle that cannot go around it, because it is too large, then you're allowed to go over it.
I'd be just a happy to use a normal roundabout way, and mark it as traversable with traversable=yes. Traversable could have values like yes/no/semi (for those ones that have a traversable skirt but a raised centre plinth). However, when I suggested that on the talk list a while ago, it was met with great indifference. so we seem to be left with the only way to mark a traversable roundabout being to mark it as a mini-roundabout, which can only be a node.
