Colchester in Essex has its own version:-

Just in case it wasn't daunting enough, it is legal to travel both clockwise and anti-clockwise at these mini roundabouts.

Colchester has more roundabouts than anywhere else I know. The running joke is that the Head of Road Planning at Colchester Council overfills his coffee cup and places it on the map. And, whenever he picks up his cup another roundabout magically appears...

It is really difficult to see that 5 mini roundabouts, or 31 sets of traffic lights, could possibly improve the traffic flow.
