Over here in SA they are everyday occurrences, especially in the big cities and the one you were going through reminded me very much of a very big one we have in Pretoria called the Fountains Circle. My husband detests them as he once received a traffic ticket for turning out of the circle from the wrong lane. He has never mastered them either - lol.

There are few roundabouts in Canada so I am not a seasoned user, but thought I was getting used to those pesky things until I ran into that monster that lurks on the edge of Edinburgh.
