perhaps the biggest problem which causes the most confusion is that practically no one ever uses their turn signals when in the roundabouts. I get upset when i am about to enter the roundabout and i see traffic to my left, no signal to indicate they are exiting the circle, so i must stop and wait. They then exit. This just screws up the flow of traffic.
