What the Give Way / Yield at roundabout sign means
You are approaching a mini-circle. Give way to any vehicle that will cross the yield line before you and will cross your path.
What you must do
Slow down on approach and be ready to stop. Yield to any vehicle reaching the yield line ahead of you whose path will cross yours — not only to vehicles already going round. Move clockwise, and try not to drive over the circle itself.
