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.
If, you read any of them you must come to the same conclusion I have.

The chance of people KNOWING the proper,"SAFE" procedure is at best highly unlikely.

In that SMALL GROUP who know, the ones that will follow the law are unfortunately NOTHING YOU CAN BET YOUR LIFE ON.
