It’s amazing to me how some make the roundabouts so complicated. The signs approaching each one in Sumter county accurately depict what each lane can do. Once you enter the roundabout your choices are set by the lane you entered from. Right lane to first exit or straight through. Left lane straight through or continue to third exit or all the way around. That’s all. Lines in the roundabout are basically lane markers rather than traffic control indicators.

I specified Sumter because I’ve seen roundabout signs in Marion county that do not differentiate the two lanes, but just indicate the roads intersecting with a single line around. But they should be negotiated the same way.
