I only use my signals to indicate I am exiting the roundabout. Since most times I'm going 3/4 of the way around I'm in the inside lane and want to inform anyone in the outside lane where I'm going.

I've also seen people approach a roundabout and put on the left turn signal. Usually they are in the left lane so I assume they intend to exit at the third exit. It's the ones in the right lane with the left signal on that I keep far away from.

As stated in earlier posts, it's not that difficult, but some just think they "know" how or just don't care. Stand at the one at Morse and Stillwater. At least 75% of the cars going east on Stillwater intending to go north on Morse use the outside lane to go 3/4 of the way around despite the sign indicating which lane to use.
