We've had roundabouts all over the place for 20+ years at this point. I genuinely don't get why people still struggle so much with them.
But fwiw my town also requires several roundabouts to get through and it’s not very big. And almost every time an intersection needs work, we get a new roundabout.
However I actually do like the way the directions work in maps where it says “take the x exit” because a ton of roads aren't well marked in roundabouts, and there are some weird but decently common situations where the exit you'd think you need is not the right one. Thats just sort of what happens when you are retrofitting everything, and have space constraints.
but i mean, it doesn't say "continue straight" in every interchange. i don't know how other countries do it but we have being able to navigate by signage as a mandatory part of driving tests and it's always understood that no instructions given means "continue on your current course".
Sometimes my GPS will be like "go left up here," but left is actually straight and right is the exit. I think it's just seeing if I'm still awake.
