Sometimes, you can move through seamlessly. But, when a vehicle is in the left lane there is a possibility they will need to cross over your path to exit. You YIELD to them and allow them to do so.
Some/I would say that "no traffic light" and no red light is the same as "continuous flow."

If you yield to traffic already in the circle then the ONLY way the left lane will need to cross your path is if one of you attempts to exit inappropriately: either they turned at the first exit or you continued past the second. Of course you avoid an accident but you also recognize that the yield was only necessary because someone did the wrong thing.
