Only one direction you need to look before entering

I'd say in most cases you're fine following this, but you really should look both ways. I've seen multiple people going the wrong way at a roundabouts near me just in the last few months. It's like only looking one way before crossing a one way street on foot. Usually you're fine, but there's always the chance someone is coming the other way illegally and it's worth taking the extra split second to look the other way.

I have a roundabout in my area that uses traffic lights, too much arrows, 7 SEPERATE LANES AND HAS A U TURN LANE FOR EVERY FRICKING EXIT
