If you were coming south on Morse and hit the light at 466. Would you stay in the right lane to make a left hand turn? That is what your doing if you go 3/4 the way around a circle in the right hand lane.

Would you enter the traffic light intersection on a red light? Would you enter if another car was in the intersection? That is what your doing if you don't yield to both lanes for cars already in the circle.

It's a traffic light replacement, treat it that way and everything works.
That's how someone explained it to me six years ago. Your simple explanation should be posted at the roundabouts! Or at least, everyone should have to listen to this explanation when they pick up their IDs or guest passes. It's simple, makes sense, is easy to remember.
