It appears either your post was vague (not clearly stating you meant the first roundabout build in MA) allowed me to misread you were stating the first (very first in the country) roundabout was in MA. I'll go 1/2 your vagueness error plus 1/2 my misread error.

Traffic circles and roundabouts must have had serious problems while phasing out the horse and buggy period. Mr. Ford’s automation I’m sure created havoc and introduced a mandated one way entrance exit system.

Here in the Villages we have signs, and or painted white lines to clarify lane usage. Entering from the right and exiting from the right are clear, except for the occasional seasonal driver with out of state plates.
