As for the argument that they protect traffic turning right, thats nonsense. If a following driver can't see a vehicle turning right, a hatch marking is going to make no difference

I've recently passed my driving test, but every now and then I get curious about certain aspects of the Highway Code and road markings.
For instance, why are there double broken lines on entrances to major roads, but only single broken lines on entrances to roundabouts? Wouldn't it make the driver's life easier to have 'give way' markings the same on all roads?
Additionally, when exiting a major road into a minor road there is a single broken line, but when exiting a roundabout there is no line at all. Doesn't this defy logic?
By the way, good luck to everyone taking the tests soon.
