Signs don't really do much to affect behavior. The biggest influence is the design - there is a world of difference between the highway-offramp-style roundabouts the Region is building, and the Dutch style that have narrower lanes, sharper turns into and out of the roundabout, shorter crossing distances for pedestrians, etc.
