Turn signals DO HELP, however they are useless if you are trying to signal to another driver who is driving parallel to you. Roundabout drivers should NEVER be in a roundabout directly next to another car. Drivers need to visualize that they are MERGING into a TRAFFIC FLOW regardless of which lane the other vehicles are within. When you merge, you do not do so into the side of another car even if it is in the other lane.
