That's because the rule was changed some years ago. Before then
"priorité ŕ droite" used to apply to roundabouts, giving joining traffic
the priority.


In the same way that they used "priorité ŕ droite" to give priority to a
minor road that joined a major road, forcing traffic travelling at high
speed to brake to let a slow-moving tractor pull out in front. I wonder
what
the French road safety rule-makers were smoking when they came up with
that
rule!

I believe in New Zealand (or maybe Australia) you have to give way to
oncoming traffic that it indicating to turn right (ie your left) across
your path into a side road.


Not here.
