You never nturn left from the right lane on right from the left lane in a normal 4 lane intersection. If you are going straight Through the intersection you use either lane. The Traffic circles are the same, follow the rules you use in a normal intersection and you will not have any issues.
Exactly. You'd never turn right from a lefthand lane on a straight 4 way road so why do people do it in a traffic circle?
