BS!!!! I have driven round-a-bouts for 45 years rarely transit one without changing lanes. I have never had an accident in a round-a-bout but am especially cautious here in The Villages because most villagers don't have clue about how to navigate them and the local guidance differs from that provided to drivers in the rest of the world.

A contributing factor to the confusion is the lane markings are not standard within The Villages or even within the Sumter County portion of The Villages.
