This is all very well at simple airfields.
I did my training at Lanseria in South Africa in the 1970s.
Until last year they had 2 runways, 06L24R (10,000ft) and 06R24L(3500ft).
All light aircraft used the South circuit, takeoff from 06L then call "Right downwind for 06R" if doing touch&go practice or "Right downwind for 06L" when landing for a full stop. The tower needed to be paying serious attention on days when the military were using the LH circuit and passenger jets were also arriving calling final for 06L from 5 miles out.
Proper radio procedure was essential, especially paying attention to the tower and NEVER turning onto base leg without permission.
