Therefore, I stay in the right hand lane the entire roundabout.
Make use of blinkers! Most don’t use blinkers, if the would it would be much easier to figure out where they intend to go.

If you’re in the roundabout you have the right of way reguardless of which lane you’re In, no one should be beside you if they follow the rules. Cars entering roundabout have to yeild to both lanes in the roundabout.

The problem most entering the right lane don’t yeild to traffic in the roundabout causing the left lane traffic to stop or slow down and clog the round about from the illegal entries not yielding. Most think just cause no cars are in the right lane of roundabout the can creep around the corner to nest exit or second exit which causes the Hugh problem.

Another problem if you’re in the left lane going to 3rd exit, then have to turn right after the roundabout, you have to get in the right lane. ANother reason why traffic has to yeild to all traffic in roundabout.
