    Those are pretty horrible, what makes this example even more dogshit is that it is not actually a roundabout. It's called one, it looks like one, but it ain't. It's just a large, multi-lane circular intersection.

      Then what would it make it a propper roundabout?

        The right of way regulations. Traffic inside the circle does not have the right of way, sometimes, but then sometimes it does. Every continous line in there marks a "you have to stop for incoming traffic".

        It's most easily seen if you're approaching on the leftmost lane from the South-West. Following the markings, you may only exit to the South East or the south. Or be stuck in an indefinite loop.

        Trams through roundabouts are actually a great way to provide transit priority, you only need to stop car traffic in two places.
