Hi Brett,
You've just said a *really" controversial phrase (mini roundabouts).
In Australia there is a *LOT* of history surrounding these things.
I do have a definite opinion on them but I reckon it would be best (if not
unbearably tedious) for you to read the many vitiolic posts on this subjec
I've seen it flatly stated that Australia didn't have any real
mini-roundabouts. That may have been true once, but the last few new
roundabouts I've seen built near me have all been either true mini

Oops terminological mistake. Looks like they are "small" roundabouts. Thanks,
will do.

I always like to simplify things (maybe too much sometimes).
How about If the approaches to the intersection/junction have
"roundabout signs" then it is a roundabout, roundabout laws apply and we
should tag it junct
I'm not saying that a mini-roundabout isn't a roundabout, it is, and all
the normal signs and laws apply. What it also is, however, is traversable.
If you have a vehicle that cannot go around it, because it is too large,
then you're allowed to go over it.

That bit about "ANY vehicle" is not part of the current definition of a
mini_roundabout in OSM.
