Note the following photos (numbered from left to right).
1. 2 lanes entering from all 4 sides, 2 lanes all the way around the roundabout...but sign only shows one lane.
2. Same as sign in #1, but it actually narrows to 1 lane within the roundabout...but only for part of it.
3 & 4. Showing roundabout in photo #2.
5. Sign accurately showing two lanes around entire roundabout. |
Totally agree.
Also the overall strategy assumes everyone knows exactly where they are going heading into the circle. Not around here. Ever pay attention to how many people you see in golf carts pulled over looking at the map. I don't believe that would be isolated to only golf carts. I believe a reasonable solution would be to make them all one lane (wait before you jump) with the highest traveled street of each circle having auxiliary bypass lanes.
