The word that does not go with the others is accelerator, which is part of a car (Gaspedal). The other words all describe a place where two or more streets meet.
intersection = Kreuzung
junction = Kreuzung
roundabout (UK) = Kreisverkehr
Note that in Britain, the word "junction" is more common than "intersection". In North America, "junction" is used only to refer to the intersection of two highways.
In North America, roundabouts are often called rotaries or traffic circles.
