And btw, is there a substantial difference (not semantic) between NOT sitting at a light for 2 minutes and "continuous flow"???
Some drivers believe they can keep moving without worrying about who is in the roundabout. That is not correct.

If a vehicle is in the inner (left lane) before you enter, that vehicle has the right of way. You wait until it crosses your path before proceeding. You are required to yield.

If done correctly, it only takes a few seconds which would be continuous flow. If done incorrectly, the vehicle in the left lane has to drive around the circle AGAIN to exit. Or, two vehicles slam on their brakes because an entering driver did not YIELD. Which is not continuous flow.
