[Symbiote]

Britain has mini-roundabouts, which are a good alternative to many smaller junctions. It's just a painted white dot, about the size of a small car, in the middle of the junction.

Since the "circle" is so small, you yield to approaching vehicles on the junction, but also to a vehicle waiting at the entrance to your right¹, i.e. the vehicle that is waiting in the direction you're looking in anyway for traffic on the "circle".

If there are no other cars, you barely need to slow down.

In most cases, even if the junction is busy, a car trying to enter from an uncommon direction will quickly be able to go as someone in the main direction will need to yield.

¹ Driving on the left in Britain, of course.
