The roadsign shows (and gives notice of) a series of mini roundabouts (popularly known as a "Magic Roundabout"). Normal Rules of roundabouts apply whereby when entering a roundabout you must give way to traffic from the right. However when travelling around more than one of these mini roundabouts when you exit one roundabout and are approaching a second (or third etc) you will again have to give way to traffic from your right.

That would be my answer, might not be perfet but demonstrates knowledge of how to deal with a series of roundabouts.

That would probably be something that I would give as an answer if the question arises, but they must have an official title not just. "popularly known as a "Magic Roundabout".

As there does not appear to be a definitive answer to my question, I shall just hope it isn't asked.

What exam is this? If it's a theory test, it's multiple choice

The sign merely shows a series of roundabouts and the manner in which they are aligned. It is an 'official' sign in much the same way that another 'official' sign may show the alignment of a peculiar road junction, and it is an entirely proper question to expect the examinee to answer.

I do like the plan from Wikipedia showing the traffic flow round The Magic Roundabout.

we have one on the A13 sadlers farm- I was told by my instructor to treat each roundabout seperatly,as you would approach any roundabout in that you'd give way from the right, which is what I do and it works.
