"Section 40: Unless otherwise directed by a traffic control device, a person driving a vehicle that is travelling in a traffic circle shall yield the right of way to any other vehicle that in the circle and that is travelling to the left of that person's vehicle."
Haven't been to Edmonton in a while, but I'll restate that in Calgary, no one continues to signal left.

Was just the first one that popped up on google. There are a few on there, but yeah Ab transport is pretty vague.
Fairly sure I'm technically correct though. Leaving the LH signal on while in the LH lane indicates you aren't exiting. You can't change lanes while IN the circle, so using your LH signal while in the RH lane to indicate you are going to break the rules isn't correct. If I saw someone doing that I would wonder what the hell they were doing, other than smashing into cars on the inside lane.
I dunno. I do it because that's what I'm used to doing, and it makes sense to me. It certainly doesn't hurt.
On a lighter note, don't do this
