It depends on the settings: shortest or fastest route.

It seems to me that this one accomplishes in a more cumbersome way
what a newer turbo roundabout does much better.

The point of it is that the merging of trafic is mostly done downstream
rather than on the roundabout itself,

I think not. The magic roundabout provides a fair bit of redundancy, 
allows more than one path between entry and exit. Heavy traffic, a 
breakdown, or road works could close part of it and it would still 
function. It also allows U-turns and oversized loads can pass through it 
easily. Whatever its other merits, the Dutch design is inferior in these 
respects - quite clever, I suppose, but a cleverness too far.

The two approaches are not at all the same.

You misunderstand.
The turbo-roundabout has redundancy too.
(you can take the fast path as intended,
  or the slower path along the outside)
You can recover when you make a mistake.

As for clever, the point is not being clever
but having a higher throughput and a lower accident rate.
(both verifiable and verified)
Even the Americans have some, by now.

> The two approaches are not at all the same.

No, of course not!
The magic roundabout is an experimental,
and by now obsolete design from over fifty years ago.
It works only because it forces drivers to take it slowly.
The turbo-roundabout is an evolved design
based on some decades of experience with roundabouts,

Well perhaps I have misunderstood. Let's see…

"A traditional Dutch turbo roundabout has a multilane design that uses a 
radial approach and *discourages lane changing* on the approach and 
within the roundabout through robust channelization, center island 
geometry, and lanes that are separated by raised lane dividers" -
<https://international.fhwa.dot.gov/programs/tbp/docs/35976_FHWA_HPIP_Turbo_Roundabout_Factsheet_v05_Release_508.pdf>

My emphasis.

"The lane arrangement of a turbo roundabout *prohibits vehicles that 
enter on some approaches from completing U-turns*. [...] For instance, 
vehicles entering from the inside lane of the left and right approaches 
(the major road approaches) in figure 9 (a “Basic” turbo roundabout) can 
complete a U-turn; while vehicles approaching from the top and bottom 
approaches (the minor road approaches) cannot" -
<https://www.ms2soft.com/media/1555/fhwa_turbo_roundabouts_2020.pdf>

Drivers commonly go all the way round a roundabout when uncertain which 
exit to take. The British Highway Code mentions this only indirectly, in 
Rule 186, the French one explicitly:

« Vous pouvez emprunter la voie extérieure dans le rond-point si vous 
n'êtes par sûr de votre direction… » - Cdlr 2022 (p.39), Michelin.

"… however, the roundabout provides a better throughput of traffic than 
other designs and has an excellent safety record, since traffic moves 
too slowly to do serious damage in the event of a collision" -
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Roundabout_(Swindon)>

I can see turbo roundabouts having a place in linking roads out in the 
sticks, where it's a simple matter of M6 north or M6 south. In a complex 
urban setting, as in Swindon, the magic roundabout looks a better 
solution. (In the course of this rather roundabout discussion, I've 
defrosted a bit, may even have developed some warmth towards it.)

A special Danish roundabout, safe for cylists and pedistrians:

If the URL scares you, you can enter "Aabenraa Landevej, Haderslev" and

<https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/55°14'11.8"N+9°29'19.6"E/@55.2365733,9.4877498,156m/>

Oh aye, but that's multi-level (the cyclists have subways); that's cheatin'!

Turbo roundabouts look to me like arrangements of slip roads, twisted 
into a circle. They restrict connectivity, which would indeed increase 
flow and safety - at the expense of flexibility. I think they're 
multi-level junctions' twisted cousins.

It's hard to think of an arrangement that is more connected and flexible 
than a magic roundabout.

In a discussion about safety on two wheels, a cycling friend once put it 
to me that the chance of having an accident is a function of the number 
of interactions one has with other vehicles. A cyclist has many such 
interactions; a motorcyclist, embedded in a stream of other motor 
traffic, doesn't. If this were all, motorcycling would be safer than 
cycling, but there are other factors, such as testosterone and speed. 
Are there any bikers who have never filtered or who, if their machine is 
capable of it, have never done a ton?

Filtering is riding between lines of traffic.

My youngest daughter has done that once. I then told her that she would 
lose her license and get a heavy fine if it was seen by a policeman.

I am fairly certain that she hasn't broken the speed limit, and her bike 
kan hardly do a ton.

This used to be advertised as "the Honda lane". That prompted the
authorities to make it illegal, as distinct from merely stupid.

As of 2025 it has been legalised at last for the most notorious case,
the Parisian Boulevard Peripherique, [1]

There's filtering and filtering. Weaving in and out of traffic at high 
speed is unlikely to end well. At the opposite extreme, filtering 
through stationary traffic where the lanes are wide, e.g. on a motorway, 
is fairly safe.

In slow traffic, filtering is legal in the UK. It's mentioned in Rule 88 
of the Highway Code, which is tacit approval.

Until some driver opens his door because he wants to see why the traffic 
is not moving.

Ah.  Lane splitting.  Legal in California, but not in all states AIUI.

It's really, um, distracting when the splitter revs his engine by the

I'd expect that to be a C or a Century around here, but I haven't asked

I assume US drivers who live on or near a state border have to keep in 
mind which side of the line they are on and hence what is, or isn't, 
legal at that point on the road.

There are generally physical clues as to where the line is.

I used to frequently pass from Oregon into Washington (I lived in 
suburbs on the south side of town, and the border was on the north 
side.  I did not have a driver's handbook for Washington, and had no 
problems.  Currently I am involved in treks into Arizona ... that 
border is 4 hours away by freeway, but a lot of SoCal people are on 
that road.  Haven't run across any particular issue.

Most states buy into the Uniform Traffic Code, whose content is 
negotiated between the Feds and said states.  Differences often are 
related to what types of vehicles are allowed, special parking zones,, 
turns in certain situations, and some special signage.

Of these states I'm familiar with, I believe Oregon is the only one 
that allows "triples" ... a semi truck rig with a tractor and 3 
trailers.  I'm not sure that 50-ft trailers are allowed in that 
configuration, but haven't looked it up recently.  What's fun is trying 
to pass a triple on a rainy day.  Oregon gets plenty of rain.
