What about larger traffic circles? The rules here seem different than in the UK where you signal left to stay going around in the circle and signal right to get out of it at your chosen direction. I've run into problems here where, in large multi lane, multi exit-lane circles, signaling left (as if in the same situation as your video) creates loads of confusion when the yielding cars don't know where you got into the circle, so left to you might not be clear to them. Also, what about circles with more than four roads coming into/out of it?
