A round-about is no different then a traffic light with 4 lanes each direction. If you are turning right always be in the right lane, same as a traffic light. If you are turning left, always be in the left lane, same as a traffic light. And if you are going straight through use either lane, same as a traffic light. And always give the right of way to the person in the circle, same as an intersection with a traffic light.

The only difference is a round-about is much more efficient at moving traffic then a traffic light.
