These absolutely do not work in Asia - they are pretty common in the Indian subcontinent and SE asia.
However, fundamentally it is a self-regulated mechanism where you need to follow rules like allow merging from left, etc. Traffic signals have more simplistic rules and can be more strictly enforced. The problem happens in heavy traffic when you are literally fighting for your exit - there is no way that you can claim to have been following the rules.
In India, a lot of roundabouts are being converted to traffic signals to save time and safety.
