There is no problem if these rules are followed.
Thank you, thank you, thank you
People do not seem to realize that upon entering a RB you must yield to BOTH lanes. How often do you see some bozo enter the right lane, and then act indignant as the car in the left lane, who was proceeding 270 around, heads to the gate while the lane usurper tries to go straight?
