• If you intend to exit the roundabout less than halfway around, use the RIGHT-HAND lane.
• If you intend to continue straight through, use either lane unless signs or markings indicate otherwise.
An age old Villages' conundrum. The damn circles should have never been built!
When Mr. Schwartz originally built, please notice that there weren't any.
Also note that there are far fewer accidents north of 466, where there aren't any circles on Morse. The stop signs work perfectly.
No one knows how to drive them, the dotted lines belie what the signs say, they kill your tires,
the stop-and-go plays havoc on your gas usage and they are too small in circumference to improve the flow of traffic.

I rest my case.
