I'm only talking about within a roundabout, where you are not legally required to signal. So yes, it's a courtesy, especially to the folks sitting there waiting to enter the circle wondering if the cars are going to continue around, or exit.

Everywhere else, it's a signal every time I make a move. It really annoys me when people don't signal changing lanes on the highway.


Edit to add: Signaling before exit is recommended by Sumter County officials: http://sumtercountyfl.gov/DocumentCenter/Home/View/3939
