Your post as a sibling to mine cracks me up. It really underlines how different road design is in the Northeast to the rest of the country; I can hit four roundabouts to go three towns over if I picked my route to avoid the highway, and probably see another additional yield along the way. And it was one of the most important things drilled into us (Maine) during our driving lessons and exam, where we were taught “default to stop unless you know you’re clear”.

Not just northeast. GP is talking from their own narrow perspective. I've driven all over the country, and roundabouts (as well as yields) are common in some places and nonexistent in others. GP just seems to have a narrow experience.

Totally, they're elsewhere too! I was remarking more that in New England they're pretty universally How You Do Things, and it falls off pretty drastically once you get out of NY and PA.

Decently common in Metro Detroit. Few in my neighborhood and we also have a lot of boulevards which sometimes will have yields at every turnaround.
