They exist in the northeast US as a semi-common installation and I’ve seen them in a few other locations as well (unusual). The problem is people in the USA don’t know what a “yield” sign means and are incapable of using circles effectively. They either slam on their brakes and treat the merge point as a stop or they just barge in, cutting off traffic already in the circle. Of course there’s never any enforcement either...

Thankfully I don’t live there anymore so I’ll take my occasional 4-way stops.
