Note: There are single lane and dual lane circles in The Villages.
Prior to entering a dual lane traffic circle you should know which exit you are going to take to leave the traffic circle. If you are going to exit at the first right, you must be in the right lane. As you enter the circle, use your right signal and exit the circle. If you are going to exit at the second right, as you pass the first right, use your right signal and exit at the second right. You may also exit at the second right if you entered the circle from the left lane and use your signal as you pass the first exit.
If you plan to exit the circle at the third right you should have entered the circle in the left lane (if it is a dual lane circle) and as you pass the second exit on the right you use your right signal and exit at the third right.
DON'T CHANGE LANES IN A TRAFFIC CIRCLE!!!
USE YOUR TURN SIGNALS SO THOSE BEHIND YOU AND THOSE WAITING TO ENTER THE CIRCLE ARE AWARE OF WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO.


Remember, once you are in the circle, you have the right of way over those waiting to enter the circle but you must use your signal so those around you know what you intend to do. You can be the cause of a traffic crash by not properly using your turn signals and could get a ticket.
If I have misstated anything above, please correct me.
I hope MORE drivers would use turn signals and I would hope that our local police would enforce the laws concerning use of turn signals.
Lets be safe driving in our circles.

Pretty much sums it up quite nicely.
