The Resident entrances are always on the right side.
So, if you stay on the right side of the road, and go to the 3rd exit, you still have to yield to left who going to the second exit...
If you stay on the inside (left) and go to the third exit, as a resident you have to cross into the right lane, however you have to hope but the people on your right, and the people entering on your right will yield as you cross into their lane.
So, the right yields to the left, however you have to trust the right to yield for the left to get to the resident entrance, and many are new to circles.
Help.

The big problem here is the first line of your post - you are not obeying the rules of the road if you stay in the outside (right) lane and try to exit at the third exit. If you are going 3/4 of the way around the circle you are REQUIRED to be in the inside (left) lane. And as others have said, you CAN use the visitor lane to go through the gate, or if you prefer, once you get out of the traffic circle, change lanes over to the resident lane.
