I didn't realize there was anything different than what I've been dealing with at CocoPlum. I honestly don't know how there aren't more accidents at that circle. It's so dangerous to navigate by car, much less on bike or foot. That design from Netherland and Portland does like it would work. Eddie Juan,

Technically these intersections sometimes are called modern roundabouts, in order to emphasize the distinction from older circular intersection types which had different design characteristics and rules of operation. In the United States those older designs commonly are referred to as "rotaries" or "traffic circles".)

It would make for a great entrance to Key Biscayne and Virginia Key from the west and Brickell Ave. from the South. Add a sculpture or some sort of art (not Brito please, he's kinda saturated here) as a focal piece in the center and you have yourself a traffic calming/beautifying project in one step. You can then have cyclists and pedesrians cross in a much safer way as well as improve traffic flows.
