Wikipedia: Roundabout
A roundabout, a rotary and a traffic circle are types of circular intersection or junction in which road traffic is permitted to flow in one direction around a central island, and priority is typically given to traffic already in the junction.

In the USA, engineers use the term modern roundabout to refer to junctions installed after 1960 that incorporate various design rules to increase safety.

Roundabouts are the fucking communism of road structures. On paper they look like the greatest thing. One small problem is people are greedy fucking assholes or retarded and don’t pay attention. This is why communism never has or ever will work!

I agree with the @Fat_Electrician that Roundabouts are the communism of road design. Like communism, roundabouts make sense on paper, but try applying it to human society and everything falls apart.
