    I mean, nothing here is wrong but I have rarely had C being my primary issue when dealing with roundabouts. Idiots randomly entering the circle with no regard to other cars, THAT I’ve encountered quite frequently…

      Biggest problem I encounter is people failing to signal their exit

      So I end up being C because I yield to a bunch of bozos who didn’t communicate they were’t going to come my way

        Well we can kinda only go when the signal is accompanied by another indication like slowing and or beginning to turn - “never trust a signal” eh?

      That’s because Americans don’t know how to use them, once you live in a place where people use them OPs picture becomes your issue and you never see yours.

        I think that’s location specific, I’ve lived in a few different places in the US that had roundabouts, although I’ve always called em rotaries in the northeast.

        My city (US) used to have one that was signed all wrong, so cars already inside the circle would have to yield to the ones entering. Naturally this led to congestion instead of flowing traffic. Also it was way too close to a tangential road so that made things even worse because the backed up traffic on that side then affected cars that weren’t even going to the circle.

        Fortunately they ripped that shit out and redesigned the entire intersection.

      Or badly designed ones with a combo of yield and stop signs that effectively prevent the people with the stop sign from ever proceeding
