The roundabout are actually the simplest way to circulate traffic continousely. The problem is for a lot of people that to use it correctly because they never learned it. If I am in the right lane I can turn right or go straight. Leaving the circle (roundabout) use the blinker to the right. That is another big problem for a lot of people, using the blinker at the right place in the right time.
Left lane go straight (circle) but somewhere (usually on a two lane road) you have to go to the right, using for that blinker to the right again. As already mentioned by "renrod" you can or even better for your safety- you should switch the lane only if the marker line is dashed.
A roundabout is a traffic invention to keep traffic flowing and it is not constructed for high speed driving.
You can find good descriptions on flyers which you can get inside the federal building (Main library). If everybody would follow that what is written on those flyers nobody would have any problems.
