The purpose of the dotted lines are for entry into a multi lane roundabout. Observe as you enter you will not have to cross a solid line to get into whichever lane you have chosen. Any literature you read will most certainly proclaim never change lanes in a roundabout.

I don't want to go through the visitors entrance. Visitors have a habit of needing to speak to the gate attendant. I want to go through the resident's entrance because I'm a resident.
