Assuming right-hand side of road driving and right-hand (anti-clockwise) directionality of travel.

  1. Look left. Clear? Proceed. Not clear? Yield.
  2. When safe to do so, enter the roundabout. Locate your exit.
  3. 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.

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

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.
