    I think all mini-roundabouts should have a 2-inch kerb. No problem to the buses and HGVs who need to cross them but enough to dislodge the fillings from the teeth of the SUV, BMW and drivers of that ilk.
    There was a roundabout in Stirling a number of years ago where instead of white lines they had a raised kerb between lanes, obviously with spaces to enter and leave. No lane hopping there. Sadly it is now just like any other roundabout.

        The ones I'm on about are not really mini roundabouts they are the real thing, just off centre.

        I realised that but mini-roundabouts and the drivers who just treat them as a bump in the road are a bugbear of mine.

          Around here bumps in the road are preferable to potholes
