It’s like a stop sign entering a busy road. You stay stopped until it’s clear. Never mind the impatient people behind you that probably don’t know how to use a roundabout as well. People seem to think that you just enter the roundabout without stopping and people in the roundabout have to yield to them. The people in the roundabout have the right of way so they can get out of it and make room for more.
Can you teach me this? I have roundabout anxiety.
Assuming right-hand side of road driving and right-hand (anti-clockwise) directionality of travel.

In step 1 it’s feels like it’s never clear and i don’t know how long to wait.

Good job. Like anything, practice makes you better.
I always go and stop at the wrong time, i feel stuck, and then I’m like, “Look kids- Big Ben, Parliament…”
