Re: Traffic circles aka; round-a-bouts
As indicated in the above posted ICBC link, and this link http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/roundabouts/ you are only permitted to use your right turn signal, and only to indicate your exit point. Useing the left turn signal at anytime in a roundabout is wrong despite your good intentions.
ETA: unfortunately too many idiots fail to use the right hand turn signal to indicate their exit..

Re: Traffic circles aka; round-a-bouts
I was on a roundabout in England, I can't remember exactly where that consisted of 5 small roundabouts connected by one large one. It wouldn't have been bad if I had known where I was going but it was fun especially going the wrong way on the wrong side of the street. The ones we have are certainly not difficult.
Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have of changing others.

Three-lane and five-lane roundabouts in the UAE can be rather daunting, considering the average Arab driver believes all lanes are their very own!!

Re: Traffic circles aka; round-a-bouts
My wifes cousin from Scotland got on a large round-a-bout somewhere near London going the wrong way with a large truckload of peat-moss. He said he never saw so many flashing lights and heard so many horns. Somehow he got out of it without a mishap other than possibly a few soiled underwear in the crowd. Made me feel better. I always keep a Canadian flag in the window as a warning when I'm over there.

I don't signal in the round-a-bouts because I can't since my signal doesn't work when my wheels are turned. Stupid Dodges.
