That's the only hard and fast distinction between mini and regular roundabouts. > - No more than 4 exits as left/right/straight on wont work > I'm sure there's probably some more-way mini-roundabouts somewhere, just as I've been through intersections that probably should have been quite a large roundabout but instead ended up as an 8-way traffic control spaghetti bowl of turn restrictions, physical islands, priority signage and traffic lights. So I wouldn't consider this as a defining or exclusionary characteristic one way or another. > - You dont expect nav aids to be "2nd exit etc" but a "turn left at" as > the navaids are like a junction. > Right, because it, effectively, is a mundane junction, just being smarter about it than an all-way stop and more likely to get pedestrians safely across the junction than an uncontrolled junction.
