This works no matter which road you approach the roundabout on.
The only tricky part is when exiting the roundabout after going 270 degrees around and entering a gate. My habit is to enter the left lane from the roundabout inside lane and then merge to the right to use the resident lane. If someone block me from merging, I just use the visitor lane. No big deal.
But use your turn signals when exiting the roundabout just to eliminate confusion.

Perfectly stated. I wish everyone could understand those basic concepts.
