I like the German roundabouts that have 3 lanes at each entry. The furthest left takes you to the 3rd exit (left hand turn), the middle takes you to the 2nd exit (straight ahead), and the right hand lane takes you the 1st exit (right hand turn).

The lanes are painted to "spiral" so that if you take the furthest left hand, by the time you get to the 3rd exit, it's the outermost lane.

Spiral roundabouts are very common all over Europe, including the UK. They take a little getting used to, but once you realise your drivers side wheel just needs to stay the correct side of the white line, and the white line will take you where you need to go, it's all good.
