I am very cautious as I know people won't even follow this simple rule
I have no problem with crossing lanes /lines in the roundabout only in the case of taking the third exit. You have to be in the left /inside lane to take the third exit. Cars in the right / outside lane can only take the first or second exit and no one should enter the roundabout next to a car so there is no reason not to be able to cross that dotted line to get to the resident gate. I agree that drivers taking the second exit should not change lanes because they don’t want to have to turn the steering wheel as much or slow down enough
