This is the answer! So many people read the yield sign to mean only the lane they wish to enter has to be yielded to, when it is both lanes. Do not enter the roundabout if there is traffic in either lane. This avoids the situation of traveling next to a car while in the roundabout.

And don't enter the roundabout at the same time as the car next to you, although this is hard to accomplish when there is heavy traffic, because as you wait for the car next to you to enter, another fills its slot.
