It's actually a brilliant system, and works well.
There are two in UK using that system.
Maybe TV is not ready for it yet!
You may spot that the mini roundabouts are just a painted circles, no raised centers.
There are many roundabouts with just that painted circle at junctions all over UK.

YIKES! This seems to work really well if you are used to it. I know I would not want to encounter this type of RAB.

This is one of the comments on YouTube regarding this "Magic Roundabout".........

"I encountered this once, just the once in the 80s. Did not understand the weird sign, had to do a 'third exit,' so none the wiser, drove on and went round the inside lane to meet an oncoming car. Both of us stopped. I was hopelessly confused and went round the outside carefully until I got the exit to the M1. I heard the person who designed this got an award. I would have charged him with manslaughter."
