You understand me correctly. Or maybe a text something similar to this: "This picture shows a round place with a traversable island in the middle, but this is neither a mini-roundabout nor a roundabout, but instead a turning circle, which allows large vehicles to turn around. Not saying that all turning circels need to be round nor have a traversible island." or.. I dont know maybee I was only tired yesterday.. :)
