I lived in The Philippines for a year. There are almost no traffic lights and Stop signs are pretty much unheard of. One of the things mentioned is that cars tend to go a lot slower. The video from Ethiopia is obviously sped up. But in these countries it is whoever can get the nose of their vehicle in first goes first. Obviously the biggest vehicles such a busses usually win.

Here's a photo of the Quezon Memorial Roundaabout. Keep in mind that it is nine lanes wide in some spots.

Lots of fun.
