Traffic Circle

I will say that I was very impressed by how reliably the drivers in England would yield correctly 100% of the time. I thought that Americans could never be trusted to always yield. That trust is something we need to develop over time as we Americans learn to use the circles correctly as if our lives depended on it.

VERY TRUE. Although I last drove in England 28 years a go, but in Switzerland & Austria 6 years ago and also 3 years ago.
I grew up and learned to drive in town on south shore of Boston where there is a large rotary; it really was second nature to drive through it: yield when entering!
