....and there's more!

Photos numbered L to R.

1. Another 2 lane sign.

2. Solid white line between outside and inside lane in roundabout in photo 1, meaning you shouldn't cross it...to continue around the roundabout.

3. Other side of roundabout in photo 1 & 2, that doesn't have solid white line and allows outside line to cut across inside line...even if the person is taking the exit.

4. Rainey Trail roundabout, with solid white line northbound and then narrows to one lane...on north side of roundabout.

5. The west exit to Rainy Trail, with solid white line indicating you have to be in right lane to exit.


To summarize, The Villages little schematic on what should be done in roundabouts doesn't match what they've actually done with the striping and signage.


As I've said many times however, I think narrowing ALL roundabouts to one lane in the locations shown in some of the photos...would go a long way to making things simpler.
