It seems to work during that 5 minute segment, but at 1.45 it looks like this system could get gridlocked. If vehicles are blocked from exiting a roundabout for long enough, there's a risk that the whole thing will fill up. When this happens, it can only get unblocked quickly if the vehicles blocking the exits wish to leave via those exits. Edit: nope, the system can continue to move, but when more exits are blocked, the system throughput drops sharply to zero. I'd love to see this roundabout during rush hour. For cyclists safety, this system works because the cycle lane is so far outside the vehicle lane, and it is right before pedestrian crossing. Most of the roundabouts with bicycle lanes that I have encountered, they just used a different coloured tarmac at the edge to show cyclists where they should risk their lives. They're not at 90 degrees to the cars, they're literally side-by-side. In that situation, cyclists are in greater danger of getting side-swiped by a car exiting the roundabout.
