The sign shows you the "angle" of each exit relative to the road you're entering the roundabout from. So if you wanted to go to Ilford, you'd know you need to drive three quarters of the way around the roundabout to reach the exit you need. It ain't rocket science, but I'm sure you're right in saying that familiarity has a part to play. Everybody who learns to drive in Britain gets taught about roundabouts as a part of learning to drive.
What do roundabout signs look like in the US? Ie how do you know which exit you need?
