Those are very different from the one in McKenzie Towne. That one has five intersections coming together (edit: 6 if you count the fire station) and joining with the road that come directly off Deerfoot. It handles a massive volume of traffic.
The ones in Mount Royal are as you said there as a traffic calming measure. But how often are there more than 2 or 3 cars using it at once? They are also all single lane, so you don't have the issue of people trying to cut across another lane of traffic.
