The modern roundabout layout is designed to assist traffic flow because the original layout is counter intuitive to many. Just because you learned it some way in Europe does not mean it applies here.


If this was true, they wouldn't have responded to all the complaints and changed it.
Its setup completely nonsensically now. The narrowed exits make no sense whatsoever, and for people making a right from an adjacent entrance have to watch for people who shouldn't end up in their lane. The driving handbook outlines how people are supposed to use traffic circles. Sadly we've got a bunch of trial and error traffic engineers trying to reinvent the wheel. Their first attempt at fixing this was quickly scrubbed out. Now we've got rev 2 and its destined for the dustbin.
