Am I missing something here ? Get in get out, that's about it. Using a signal just slows things up ! Traffic circles are common where I live in NY and I use them every day. I see a signal being used maybe once every few months, max. And that's plenty for me...I see absolutely no reason to signal within a circle.
Ricky, when I enter a roundabout in the left lane with the intention of continuing on straight, I always use my signal at the point I "turn right" to go straight. I do this to let the car behind me to the right, and the driver impatiently entering the circle to my right, know just where I am going. Even when I signal, I'm still cautious.
