How to properly go through a four-way stop.
Assuming right-hand side of road driving and right-hand (anti-clockwise) directionality of travel.
- Look left. Clear? Proceed. Not clear? Yield.
- When safe to do so, enter the roundabout. Locate your exit.
- Exit the roundabout.
Corollary: never stop in a roundabout. Go around more than once if you have to, but don’t stop.
I assume roundabouts in Australia and England and UK colonies that drive on the left, all instructions are direction-opposite.

As a non-USA person, the existence of a four-way stop has always baffled me. I think it is the peak of awful road design. I don’t think you could make a worse intersection.
