Is that effectively a double roundabout/traffic circle? I'm not sure I intuitively understand how to navigate the bit of the "bean" that's round but doesn't have a central circle to flow around? [I'm totally fine with UK-style traffic circles, single, double, multi-lane, etc]

the junction in it's current form is like a wild, light-controlled, two-or-three lane hybrid between a roundabout and a standard junction.

If you can do UK-style traffic circles, you'd be fine on this junction.

My proposal to to shape down all inbound lanes of traffic to a single lane, then connect them all to the inner circulating channel - it's a little lumpy, thus 'bean shaped' instead of 'circle shaped'.

But as far as using it, from the POV of the driver of a vehicle, it's identical to a roundabout.
