agree tectranslate ITS GmbH : Definitely, if you're not referring to a "Karussell". According to LEO, it's "rotary" in AE, btw. Traffic circle should be fine, too.

agree Armorel Young : traffic circle is odd to UK ears. They could of course also be mini-roundabouts, but presumably we have no way of finding that out.

interchange

in the US if its different highways splitting off a [circular] hub. (Kreuzung is an intersection). In case of local traffic, it's a traffic rotunda

'roundabout' is no more than an 'Umweg' (though generally called a 'diversion'), eg., because of road construction.
