Replace the pink car with a bicycle an A is suddenly not being in the mood to yield anymore.
I was going straight once and had to go back in and do a full turn (180° + 360°) because of that.
I'm a daily cyclist and I think I'd be terrified to bike through a full roundabout. They're absolutely marvelous designs for throughput that doesn't require complex signal automation, but the flip side of that is they're pretty hostile if you're not a motor vehicle. Any truly good roundabout design should include pedestrian and cycle paths along the periphery that have priority when crossing the circles entrances.
On the other hand, I am not expecting a cycle path for me when I am going around the normal road speed. Just if people start understanding the cycles are also traffic and not something to be plo'd over.
But that's not the thing either. It feels like people are just playing a game of 'chcken' all over the place.
