There's a 2-lane roundabout in a shopping plaza near where I work. No one - and I mean absolutely positively no one - uses the inside lane, ever. Everyone treats it like a 4-way stop sign. You stop, make sure no one is coming around from your left, and then enter the circle go around until you get to the road you want to continue on, and take your right (because no matter where you entered, the end result is - you're taking a RIGHT out of the circle, not a left). Easy peasy.
I realize that's not how it's done at the villages. But however it's supposed to be done at the villages clearly isn't working, because if it were, you wouldn't have so many threads with so many hundreds of posts about how everyone is doing it wrong and how they see accidents daily/weekly etc.
We have stop signs where I live, and if we have a fender-bender during a bad ice storm, it's news.
