Look, I just think we need to stop coddling those hedonistic roundabout hogs who get into the inner lane and circle for hours, wasting valuable capacity.

First time I have to disagree with xkcd. It's very much not navigable, with exception of turning right.

Going left or back is impossible as you will be facing counterflow and not able to turn in tight spaces.

You can't go back the wrong way, you have to change lanes or you reach a dead end. No left, only right.

It's kinda funny how these comments are proving Randall's point, that people don't know to lane-shift in roundabouts.

You shouldn't have to lane shift in roundabouts. On a well designed multi lane roundabout you choose your lane before you get there and simply follow it to the exit. The only reason to change lanes is if you screwed up.
