Very simple: It is possible that two cars can enter at the same time when going in the same direction if the rotary is clear. It happens all the time. In that case the right hand lane can not go past 180. BECAUSE: if they did go past 180 and the inside lane (who is right next to them remember) was only going 180 they would collide. Very simple.
