In order:
	(1) 18-wheel trucks
	(2) Buses
	(3) Station wagons with many dents
	(4) Large cars with fewer dents
	(5) People driving and reading the newspaper at the same time
	(6) small cars held together by body filler
	(7) pedestrians
	(8) new cars with timid drivers
	(9) out of staters

That's the way it is in Boston, at least.  
In all seriousness, people already on the circle have the right of way,
but they are supposed to be in the inner lane of the circle.  People 
getting on the circle are supposed to start in the outside lane and
get left if they go far enough around to pass another major road 
dumping into the circle.  I would guess that almost nobody knows the
real rules (including me!) so just look very carefully before doing
anything.
