Potrebbe innescare un po ‘, ma lo rischierò. A tutti i conducenti in Svizzera: è una rotonda? Avrei detto di no, ma sono sempre stato ignorato da altri anche se sarebbe stato il mio diritto di procedere. Quindi forse pensano che sia una rotonda e solo io ha torto? So che la maggior parte dei conducenti in Svizzera lotta con a destra prima a sinistra, per fortuna sono un autista attento.

Yes, it’s a roundabout, but there should be a sign before it saying so also.
No, it’s a normal priority to the right intersection.
I would say it’s right before left as its too small to use as a normal roundabout. However it’ll probably be a free for all as most people will be confused
I always assumed it’s a roundabout, but built this way so that larger vehicles (trucks etc) can also pass. I never checked though.
Depends if there is a roundabout sign in front if it. Else it’s a speedbump and there is right side right of way, if nothing else is disclaimed.
I think they would have marked accordingly if it was a right before left. Not that they do wherever this rule is applicable, but in this case, they went through all the trouble to paint it like a roundabout.
I would normally say it is but I can’t see if there is a roundabout sign on streets leading to it and it lacks stopping lines, so probably it’s not.
That question has been asked last week as well, hasn’t it? (Not by you OP)
Anyway. Until last week, I also assumed that this is a roundabout. I’ve learned since then, that it is not and that it’s totally legal to just drive straight over it.
This is not a roundabout. There are no signs that say so. The bump in the middle is a speed bump. It is round and painted like that because this is a four-way intersection and vehicles can come from and/or go to any direction. I can’t see any signs that say otherwhise so in your picture it is right side right of way.

Be my guest: [Ist das hier ein Kreisel oder soll man das einfach ignorieren? : r/askswitzerland](https://www.reddit.com/r/askswitzerland/comments/1luz7av/ist_das_hier_ein_kreisel_oder_soll_man_das/)
A roundabout is ALWAYS marked as such, both by floor markings (no right of way) and by appropriate signage. This is obviously not the case here, so it is a junction with right of way unless signalled otherwise.
The short answer is you can’t tell from that picture.
The only sure way to know if something is a roundabout is if there is a roundabout sign in front of it.
I really dislike pseudoroundabouts. There is one near me which 99% of people treat (technically incorrectly) as a roundabout. When the 1% treat it (technically correctly) as a normal four-way priority-to-the-right, there are accidents and near-accidents.
The idea is that they create so much uncertainty in drivers’ minds that they drive more cautiously. But in my experience that isn’t the case at all, and the mix of interpretations just leads to extra danger.
If a road design is being misunderstood by the vast majority of drivers, it is bad road design even if it’s technically correct.
Yes these are stupidly confusing.
