At the risk of explaining what everyone here already gets: I like how the bottom picture could literally be a diagram of a 4-way deadlock where the buses are threads of execution and the roundabout exits are object locks.

Whereas in top picture there are no passengers and I'm fairly sure the buses aren't moving. Which probably says something about the state of the documentation
