I think a lot of people believe "give way to the right” over rides everything. Round abouts are designed to move traffic through intersecting roads quicker than traffic lights can. When people stop at a round about because they see a car approaching from the right it slows traffic down. If it is safe to do so you can enter a round about before a car entering on your right and as you are already in the round about, you have right of way.

Of course then you get; tooted, lights flashed or followed and abused, because people believe you have "cut them off".

Having no traffic control devices is a good thing 'cause it forces drivers to pay attention...most of the time.

Always give way to the car about to kill you on the right.

Plenty of dead men in heaven saying..."BUT I HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY!"
