Gil, you point out another risk with the circles. When I am in the left/inside lane approaching where I have to exit I too am concerned about the car who wants to enter the roundabout at the entrance just before my exit not yielding to me since he sees that the outer lane is free. What I find myself having to do (in addition to using my turn signal in hopes that the entering car will see it), despite it being technically against the guidelines, is slightly drift into the right/outer lane before my exit. Hopefully, if the entering car sees this move they will not try to enter.
