That's not a mini, though, since you can't just drive over the island.
Here's an eponymous example of a mini roundabout:

You're assuming that each real-world situation has only one correct way
of mapping.

So, you're suggesting we stop mapping nontraversable, hard medians?
Because that's what it sounds like.
Get your ears checked.
Not necessary, I'm not the one suggesting node tagging is a substitute for
mapping a nontraversible median.

Paul,
It looks like a manhole cover (albeit a rather nice one).
Are you sure it's a miniroundabout? :-)

So this is not/should not be a mini_roundabout? It seems a little silly
to call it anything else, since the city just dug a hole in the center
of the existing intersection, built a circular curb, and planted a tree:

What about this one? Also a full on roundabout?

All three are roundabouts, yes.
How are you going to properly map the first one? There is no
channelization or anything that makes the intersection circular.

The problem seems to be that mappers needed a tag for a small roundabout
on a node. Since all that was available was mini_roundabout, that's what
we used. Had there been another tag, e.g. highway=roundabout, we
wouldn't have this discussion. But mini_roundabout is now in use for a
large number
I just downloaded all highway=mini_roundabout nodes and just browsed
around a bit comparing the nodes to Bing imagery. There are a *lot* of
turning circles tagged as mini roundabouts. And not just in North
America. Some of them are turning circles with an island in the middle
but many of them are
