There's also simply no way of getting out once you're inside. It doesn't work even if it was used by just one car.
You'd have to drive the wrong way in a one-way street.
The joke is that you have to lane-shift to get out, the way you have to in most large roundabouts already.
Something people not used to roundabouts seem afraid to do, hence this is a design that "doesn't coddle them" because if they don't lane-shift, they end up in the middle.
