Looking at the example - this is a really complex situation where the 
roundabout is at the entrance to a multi-level car park with a fly-ramp taking 
off to an upper parking level. Is the roundabout on public land or is it part 
of the precinct for the associated shopping mall? I would imagine the "no 
U-turn" restriction applies to accessing the fly-ramp dangerously. So 
commenting generally based on this one situation is a bit risky.
