> Single-lane roundabouts are really straightforward

Like the Arc de Triomphe roundabout? :)

If it had lane marking there would apparently be 10 tracks around the circle.

What makes it seem crazy is cars entering have right of way.

The reason it works seems to be French attitude. Cars entering do their thing, and cars already going around do their thing (and just have to avoid anyone on their right).

Not hitting anyone is a skill some people seem to lack. Sometimes the rules say one thing, but you have to do another, mostly give way even if you're not supposed to yield.
