Hi guys, Reading the lively discussion about mini-roundabouts and their local specifics, I am adding two pieces of information from Czechia: 1) As in Poland, a small version of roundabout exists in Czechia. Although the central island is flat, the drivers are obliged to drive around it, as the legislation does not distinguish various kinds of roundabouts. The long vehicles must indeed pass over the inland as it is physically impossible to avoid it. Just like in Poland, right? 2) They have been built with the intention to slow down the traffic. Many cross-juctions have been rebuilt into these miniature roundabouts with the goal to suppress a fast pass-through over the crossing. (The middle island is typically rough and it makes a scary sound if you exchange a smooth surface for, say, cobbles in a high speed.) The intention of slowing down is meaningful yet it often leads to traffic jams, and that is why I am interested in wheter my route goes over roundabout or a crossing; however, I do not care which type of roundabout it is, so I feel no need to distinguish them in Czechia. / Vojtech
