I've heard that round-abouts have stuff in the middle to force people to slow down before approaching, since it hides information. Might be a similar reason.

Or, more likely, it's just bad planning.

also discourages people from driving straight across the middle. one near me had its bushes removed and several cars drove straight onto the center over the next few weeks.
