As a former Mainer,the "rotary" that I remember best is not in Maine but in New Hampshire. It is on US1 in Portsmouth. Before the NH Turnpike was opened US1 carried a lot of traffic. However, it was rather large and that meant more opportunity to maneuver. There was also a large New Hampshire state liquor store off that rotary. (For the uninitiated, liquor in NH is sold only at state owned stores at very attractive prices.)
BTW, the first time I heard the term "round about" was in England. They are used extensively there. Some are very small.
