At that particular roundabout, the slip road is designed such that you can take it and still enter the roundabout. Last night I took the left lane to enter the roundabout as the car in front of me took the slip road. That car then proceeded to enter the roundabout from the slip road, because the geometry allows them to do so. Thankfully avoided an accident, but it felt like a very poor infrastructure design (and choice; it's such a low use roundabout even when anything gets developed to the north/south of it, no slip lane should be needed.
