Go through it twice a day. Looks confusing, but works quite well

No idea, just seems to work alright. You can't honestly expect me to remember when I'm either:
a) knackered in the morning; or
b) knackered after work

Well if you break it down into each roundabout at a time, you're alright. Just check you're clear from the right and stop and the next give way mark... easy peasy

What makes it ultra confusing for some people is the big one in the middle goes the wrong way round (anti clockwise....)
I steer well clear of it whenever im near it...
