Apologies, I mistook some of the ones I responded to with being ones I posted. Here's a video from Minnesota timestamped to them talking about exactly this scenario in detail. Namely, yielding to all lanes of cross traffic: https:&#x2

Not sure exactly what you mean by freely, but in most popular roundabout designs you can exit from the inner lane. A "standard" two lane roundabout will have two lanes entering AND exiting. You never change lanes in roundabouts, a

If you're just talking about this as an alternative to renting metal in EC2, it's probably worth acknowledging why that exists in the first place. Bare metal server hosting doesn't exist to provide some unique functionality.
