          Assuming right-hand side of road driving and right-hand (anti-clockwise) directionality of travel.

          1. Look left. Clear? Proceed. Not clear? Yield.
          2. When safe to do so, enter the roundabout. Locate your exit.
          3. Exit the roundabout.

          Corollary: never stop in a roundabout. Go around more than once if you have to, but don’t stop.

          I assume roundabouts in Australia and England and UK colonies that drive on the left, all instructions are direction-opposite.

      As a non-USA person, the existence of a four-way stop has always baffled me. I think it is the peak of awful road design. I don’t think you could make a worse intersection.

        The rules for how they’re supposed to work sound simple enough on paper. Unfortunately a lot of us in the US have poor reading comprehension skills.
