People should be signalling before they leave, but I'll give you a tip from a country that uses roundabouts.

Look at the front wheels. Where are the front wheels pointing?

The front wheels will tell you where they are going quicker and more often than people's turn signals (which are unreliable).

Awesome! Thank you! What a great idea. I will try this next time.

I'll give you a better tip for all traffic interactions; look at the driver not the car. You can see where they are looking and what they plan to do in almost all situations. You can even see if they aren't looking and have no plan.
