Your traffic circle is fucked. The interior lane can't double as a turn lane if the exterior lane isn't forced to exit. You will end up with people on the inner circle trying to exit through people on the outside lane trying to continue around the circle.

I seem to have missed a crucial flaw, I’ll fix that at some point.

Yes! I grew up in a small MA town that hinged on two rotaries. There was no signage, people just knew how to navigate them, people drove through them like raped apes, but there was still very little issues because folks just knew how to use them.

I can't read that word without hearing it said in a thick Boston accent in my head.

Whenever I hear someone say "round-about", I immediately respond with, "ah, you mean rohtahree"

Whenever I hear it I think, "That's a really tall toddler." round-a-bout is baby talk.

It's very British sounding, they love terms like "washing up liquid" instead of dish soap.

Yep, no instructions, just a free-for-all. Exiting from the inner lane is a part of everyday life.
