Indeed. In fact, one could argue that a roundabout itself adds no complexity to the rules of the road. A roundabout can be understood simply as a one-way road that has priority over traffic which is joining it, which must give way (="yield" [en_US]) to vehicles already on it.
The fact that this one-way road eventually goes full-circle and connects back onto itself is inconsequential.

- JoeAltmaier 3y agoIf the turns are labelled, ON THE ROUNDABOUT! Our local traffic engineer doesn't label the exits. So people STOP and look around, wondering if this is their exit.
