So yes, I disagree.
I propose something very simple.
The right (outside) lane of the round about must always exit at every side road. Car cannot continue going in circles using the right lane.
Cars in the left lane (next to center of round about) have absolute right of way, and never yield to cars entering.
Please use turn signals when exiting.

Five out of the six pictures have a Yield sign showing and the one that doesn't have the sign has text stating, "YIELD to all traffic in the roundabout," and, "DO NOT ENTER next to a vehicle in the roundabout." NONE of the 24 potential collisions exist if the driver entering the roundabout Yields to traffic in the roundabout.
The brochure is very clear. If portions of it are ignored, the problem is not with the brochure, the problem is with the person reading the brochure.
