Lanfranc, that's the same as the "4-way stop" in the States. And 2 ppl arriving at the same time will always cause chaos. At least at a roundabout, you shouldn't get stalled unless all four arrive at the same time (although learners, grannies and the terminally insecure will bugger things up anyway).

Milton Keynes is Roundabout City. But they're all 2-lane ones, and all the roads are dual carriageways, so it's notoriously good for testing your acceleration, braking and cornering. And for parking anyone who's not up to scratch in the scenery.
