Homer Watson and Ottawa Three Lane Roundabouts

Based on this image it looks like the right-most Homer-Watson SB lane will be marked as straight only movements: 


I wonder if using more plain language would help with understanding the roundabouts. From my experience people do not understand what "Yield" means, but they do understand what "Give Way" means.

The driver testing regime should ensure that nobody with a license doesn’t understand what “yield” means. And it’s not at all clear to me that “give way” is clearer. At a certain point you can only dumb stuff down so much and people simply have to learn how to interact with the system.
