While I see the value of roundabouts vs stop signs, they are confusing especially for visitors. If you had never read the guide how would you know which lane you were supposed to be in?

If you're in the right lane and you cross those dashed lines and hit the car that is exiting from the left lane...you will get a ticket. It's the same as a two lane straight road with dashed lines and you decide to change lanes and hit someone. When you're in the right lane, you're required to follow your dashed lines which turn OUT of the circle...unless it's safe for you to cross them and continue around the circle.
