I've never seen one big enough to warrant multiple lanes, but how does that work? Surely that would cause a ton of accidents from people trying to get out of the inner lane.

I know there's a traffic circle in Towson, MD, near the mall, that has 2 lanes, as well as one near the Sam's Club in Gaithersburg. It's not unheard of around here, but RR's right, I don't know why there aren't more accidents.
I've only had one accident worth exchanging insurance info for. I was turning right, in one of those lanes that has an island separating it from the straight lanes. There was only one right turn lane (I was in it), and as I was looking left to see if I was clear to turn, some idiot woman pulled alongside me on the right. I moved the car forward to turn, and scraped my passenger door alongside her car. We exchanged insurance info. I never bothered to get my car fixed (it looked terrible, but the door was still able to open and close, and the car was watertight), and she clearly never tried to file a claim against me because the accident didn't appear on my record when I changed insurance a few months later when I bought a newer car.
A few years ago, after I moved to Ellicott City, I lightly rear-ended a woman. We were in a lane coming off the expressway that has yield signs, but the lane doesn't end right away. Some stupid drivers (this woman included) interpreted "yield" to mean "stop" instead of "continue moving and merge into traffic". She started to move, then stopped suddenly, and I tapped her bumper, but no damage was done.
