I mean, the whole point is NOT to do that in order to slow traffic lol. For a turbo roundabout maybe a little contouring is expected. FWIW, I think islands on the four lane road would be appropriate, crossing four lanes of traffic is pretty dangerous. And I'm not sure of the scale, the crossings feel pretty far from the circle.

Even Dutch roundabouts do not have corners that sharp. [Image: bringing-the-turbo-roundabout-to-the-us-...a46d8d56df]

Inkscape.
