If would think this is a Magic Roundabout.
Thats.. Cool :D sort of two roundabouts (or traffic circels or roads
whatever havn't followed the discussion totaly) in different
direktions with 4 minis connectig them or something like that...
Before I started researching for the roundabout-article I haven't seen such a
monster myself. Technically speaking it is a roundabout, so it should be tagged
as such.
This is the "original" Magic Roundabout in Swindon, UK. Technically
speaking it is NOT a roundabout - it is a complex junction with several
roundabouts which happen to be arranged roughly in a circle. It's
confusing enough for us poor old humans as it is, without satnavs having
to distinguish between macro-roundabouts and micro-roundabouts. The
whole construction has only one single thing in common with a roundabout
- its roughly circular form. There's another one in Hemel Hempstead by
the way, with six connected roundabouts.
How about looking at an example use case. What would we *actually
expect* routing directions to look/sound like if we (let's say) enter
from the south (B4289) and we want to exit to the north-east (Shrivenham
Rd)?
