From the wikipedia article, this below is listed as a "roundabout". It is clearly a rotary.
I see several roads meeting at a circle. Call it a roundabout, traffic circle, rotary, or that thing I don't want to acknowledge but there are many of them in MA.

Wiki doesn't do pics, they do words and links. However, if you take those words and paste them into Google maps then you get pics like the above... many of them.
