In the second example "Skalitzer Straße" has right of way.

Here are the instructions emitted at the moment:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=osrm_car&route=52.49915%2C13.41952%3B52.49857%2C13.41852#map=19/52.49896/13.41865

it's a total of four turn instructions every 10-20 meter since there is no
proper tag for the routing engine to differentiate this from a road with
four intersections.
Instead the routing engine could emit a single instruction here.

My argument is this: there already is a pseudo tag for these
Not-a-Roundabouts:
it's 1/ no junction=roundabout tag and 2/ a note tag containing
"roundabout" / "Kreisverkehr"

Here's an example:
http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/jTV

querying for (junction!=roundabout) and (note~"roundabout|Kreisverkehr")

The routing engine could do the same parsing note tags.
This would allow us to classify probably all popular ones at least.

But it's a hack and that's exactly my point: there should be a proper
tagging scheme to tag this.
