It may be just easier to build them all the same way and use lane markings to create a single lane such as the one on Morse near the Sheriff station near 466.

In the other example, remember it was constructed years ago when roundabouts were first part of the development and it feeds a single lane road instead of two lanes to an entrance gate.
Yes. I am well aware that the gate entrance has two lanes. However, if the outside lane should never be used, then don’t create it as someone will be tempted to use it. Poor design and should be changed in my opinion to the other design even if it is older. Or, like the one on Morse for the left turn into Lake Sumter Landing. The inner lane or single lane should feed into either of the two gate lane.
