I learned to drive roundabouts in D.C. in 1960, commuting to Maryland before there was a Washington Metro and haven't driven them since then so I don't know how they are now, but there was no real estate to expand them, so I imagine they are unchanged.
The way PlaytimeII describes it working in Qatar is how it worked there. The problem was that there were SO MANY cars entering that you were virtually forced all the way into the middle before you could then start working your way back to the outside to exit, and if you didn't make it to the outside just before your turnoff, you got forced to do it all over again. It was a nightmare for a girl from West Texas who had never driven anywhere but Austin. It was a sort of rite of passage.
