Roundabouts, rotery's, or traffic circles are all the same thing and actually very simple. And IF everyone followed the rules work very well and keep traffic moving.
1. The person already in the circle always has the right of way.
2. Move to the correct lane before you enter the circle.
3. Going only 90 degrees on the circle ALWAYS enter from the right lane, stay in the right (outside) lane and take the first exit from that lane.
4. Going 270 degrees on the circle ALWAYS enter from the left lane, stay in the left lane (inside) and exit from the inside lane. Remember "everyone follows the rules" so if someone is entering from your next to last exit and only going 90 degrees, your inside lane exit works fine.
5. Going 180 degrees you may enter from either lane and exit from either lane. Just stay in the lane you chose to use. DON'T switch lanes in the circle.
