Also stay in your lane when you are going straight through the roundabouts on major roads. Just today as we were entering a roundabout in the right lane to go straight through on Morse at the Morse-Pinellas roundabout, an auto in the left lane, also going straight through, passed us upon entering the roundabout at a speed higher than 20 mph. As the car in the left lane exited the roundabout continuing on Morse, its passenger tires (right side of the car) crossed the center line and then recovered back into its left lane. Had we been closer to that car instead of dropping back a little, we could have been hit.

Likewise at the next roundabout--Morse and Hillsborough--an auto in the right lane on Morse entered the roundabout obviously driving faster than 20 mph, entered in the right lane, straddled the center line part way through, and then returned to its right lane as it continued on south or Morse.

Slow down and stay in your lane. I would like to see more traffic law enforcement on Morse and Buena Vista. Maybe with all the new law enforcement people hired due to Villages growth will be able to keep people from driving 45 to 55 mph on these roads--speed limit is 35.
