Don’t worry. It meets building codes.
The most fun to be had, however, is for the British driving in France. France has their entertaining priorité à droite. This is hard enough but with roundabouts it is astonishing. In the UK and any country with sensible road traffic rules, traffic entering the roundabout yields to rotating traffic. Indeed, practically speaking rotating traffic has the obligation to get a move on and out of the roundabout. In France, however, priorité à droite is the default, which means that rotating traffic must yield to entering vehicles. This was such an obvious design fail that it had to change but since the French like to be different in their peculiarly French ways (how they hated white headlights), it took a long time and was inconsistent, leaving the default as I described above but some roundabouts have the sign Vous n’avez pas la priorité as you approach a roundabout. But that's confusing since what really needs to be said is "keep going" to the rotating traffic -- how do they know that entering traffic's default rights are revoked by a sign?
That outer ring looks like the traffic equivalent of a particle colliderWe have these things called "traffic circles" but we are always in a rush togiveTAKE the right-of-way, and a 'roundabout' just sounds too British and/or polite.
