How many lanes is multi lane? 2 lanes onto the roundabout?
That in itself is not an issue for me (many UK roundabouts are two lanes at the entrances and exits) - what is more concerning is the speed of the traffic on the approach to the roundabout and the speed of the traffic through the roundabout.
The plans pictured look like fairly small diameter roundabouts with non-straight approaches - that should control the speed of traffic.
There are a couple of motorway junctions near me that are effectively a giant roundabout with three lanes on the approach. Cars could easily navigate the roundabout in excess of 40mph. That kind of speed differential is very difficult to deal with safely on a bike - you spend a lot of time in a very exposed position. I try to avoid these wherever possible.
