And why is that? Because it’s counterintuitive to what you’ve been doing all your life. Think about it. When you’re heading home from work in heavy traffic and you’re entering the highway on an entrance ramp., do you wait until both lanes are free or just the right hand lane?

Nuff said?
You are right. Probably why there are Yield signs when approching the roundabout......if only everyone could read.
