For example, when we are going South on Buena Vista and want to go into a Village on our left, if we are in the inside of the circle, we can't get out without crossing the people on the outside of the circle. If we are on the outside of the circle, the people on the inside go straight and cut us off. HELP!!!

Just before entering a rotary you will note a road sign. It notes each lane and the rotary exits allowed from the respective lane.

In addition, rule # 1 is: a car already in the rotary has right of way over a car that is about to enter.

We have rotaries in the Boston area...and a lot more rules, but the ones above are good for TV.
