If i'm in the left lane, and making a 1/4 turn, i'm in the wrong lane. But i'm supposed to keep up with the speed of traffic so if there's someone behind me, i worry they'll get mad if i slow down, mad if i'm in the wrong lane, mad if i get disoriented and pull over and stop because i just can't deal with that kind of stress when i'm just trying to get across the darned street.

Plus it's clear these traffic circles are dangerous, which is why there are so many threads here with so many posters saying they're dangerous. why not ditch the circles and put in normal lanes with stop lights and turn lights, so there's absolutely no confusion whatsoever? You get in line, stop, wait til the light says you can go, then go. And everyone else stops to let you do so.

no, no, no...………………….!
Oh wait, you said you were just a visitor.....did you read the signs at the entrance to the roundabout? I thought so.
