I've been driving these RABs for what is equivalent of close to five full time years. I have never allowed another car to be along side of me in a RAB. That is easy to do by varying your speed. I slow down when someone comes up beside me. I feel protected this way because you just never know where someone is going to go in a RAB.

I abide by the rules and stay in the outside lane if I'm going to leave the RAB at my first or second exit (right turn or going straight ahead). I approach the RAB in the left lane if I plan to leave the RAB at my second (going straight ahead) or third exit (left turn).

Question.....which lane should one be in if they are going all the way around for a U turn? (Have only had to do that once). I guess one should be in the inside lane of the RAB, right?
