You can't always tell that someone else is in the roundabout. If you're coming north on Morse toward 466 and approach the roundabout at Sumter Square, you have no way to tell if someone is coming south on Morse, already in the roundabout, but not yet at the Square exit. You can't see the other side of the roundabout from there.
There's another on Morse that has a pump house in the middle, no one can see across from them. In fact, I only know of a couple of roundabouts where you -can- see directly across from your entry point.
Pedantic, perhaps. But people are taking things literally here, and that can result in an accident. What you shouldn't do, is enter the roundabout when you actually see a car approaching your entry point from within the roundabout. There's a 3-exit roundabout on Buena Vista - and you can see clearly all exits, from any entry point. The person coming into the roundabout from your right, is not a problem for you. But the person coming toward you from your left, is a problem for you. You need to wait for him to either exit at your entry point, or pass you and exit beyond your entry point.
