Take the second exit at the roundabout onto the A140.
In American English, an area like this is called a traffic circle or a rotary.
The traffic circle has successfully slowed down vehicle traffic.
In British English, a roundabout is also a circular platform in a play park that children sit or stand on. People push the platform to make it spin round.
