mini-roundabout
Tiny traffic circle
A mini-roundabout is a small traffic circle, typically painted on the road surface rather than raised, used at minor intersections to manage traffic flow.
Common in British road design, they function like full roundabouts—vehicles yield to traffic already circling—but take up less space: Turn left at the mini-roundabout.
