Here is a quick lesson, if you follow this you will be more than OK. Just think of a 2 lane roundabout as a 2 lane 4 way stop. If you were making a left turn you would be in the left land (inside lane 3rd exit) and if you were making a right turn you would in the right (outside lane 1st exit). If you were going straight you would be in either lane (2nd exit is straight). There is even a sign before every roundabout showing where each lane can go.

In this diagram, the yellow car at the bottom in the left lane, where can he proceed to? He can go straight using either lane, or go to the third exit using the left lane.

It's not always that simple. Let's say you are entering the Villages on Morse off from #441. When you proceed to the gates after going around the roundabout, those who use the resident gate must be in the right lane and those wishing to use the guest gate must exit from the left lane and pray no one hits the right side of their car.
