Homer Watson and Ottawa Three Lane Roundabouts
People are still getting the hang of it.  It'll take a while before everyone realizes what the slip roads are, and start to use them fully.  In the meantime, it's not like it's illegal not to.  It's like forgetting to use a slip right turn bay at a conventional intersection.  You can still make the turn, you just slow down through traffic a little.

Honestly though, the design of the approaches certainly seems counter-intuitive.  The slip roads for turning right come to meet the road at sharp angles, while the lanes meant for continuing straight through approach the roundabout at a very shallow angle, as if to angle you toward making the right turn.
