There's an often-used one in Troy OH, and I swear they changed the yield rules there in the past!

It "makes sense" to me now, with drivers on the circle having the right-of-way. Not that I'm driving around there very often anyway, but I try to avoid them.

Edit: Entering vehicles kept cutting me off as I was driving around the circle years ago, and my sister in the passenger seat said that I had to yield for them. WHAT?! Did they WANT a traffic jam?! Maybe my sister was wrong despite how she lived there at the time.
