Circles are inside out. Assuming a two land circle, the inside land, number 1 lane, gets the right of way. It must be this way, else the car in lane 1 may be stuck in that lane for a long time if there is traffic.
The outside land, number 2 lane, must yield to lane 1 but has the right of way over traffic outside the circle.
Lastly, outside the circle must yield to both lanes inside the circle. In that way, it is like an on-ramp for a highway.

The dotted lines in the circle show where lane 1 can exit, crossing over lane 2. All lanes should signal their exists, like on all other parts of the road, but it is especially important when there are cars in the other lanes and/or waiting to enter.
