note that proper spinlock procedure is to not leave the roundabout unless there is room to do so completely this avoids complete deadlock until the entire roun

  > not leave the roundabout unless there is room to do so completely I don't understand how that helps. The problem is there are too many cars in the rotary, so no amount of not leaving the rotary will unblock it. It seems like you should not enter unless there's room to exit, but on some of these, you can't both see the exiting traffic light and safely merge into moving rotary traffic, so I don't really blame drivers who enter the rotary and find the light turns amber then red on them.

    as an ai language model, i cannot speak to your particular intersection, but the idea is that if say just one car is waiting for the blocked exit, circling would allow other exits to continue to function, by following the general rule of 'do not stop once entering the roundabout' i could also imagine that anyone waiting behind someone who is deadlocking might have success sending a signal to the blocking process, unless they have committed to a non-reentrant exit routine
