Apply flow conservation at the four junctions, using the directions in the original diagram:
The total external inflow and outflow are both 250 cars per hour. Accordingly one of these linear equations is redundant. Put . Successive substitution yields
in cars per hour. The nonnegativity restriction expresses clockwise traffic on every arc. Conversely, every gives nonnegative flows satisfying all four conservation equations, so this is the whole physically allowable family. Increasing adds a common network circulation around the roundabout without changing any external inflow or outflow.
