I've read several times that it is illegal to change lanes in a roundabout even though there are broken lines.

In the https://www.districtgov.org/communit...t-02-08-12.pdf example a car entering from 12:00 in the left hand lane that wants to turn left, (or exit at 3:00), must change lanes. If it actually against the law to change lanes, then the car entering from 12:00 in the left hand lane would only have the option of going straight.

We have a roundabout close to my house with two of these single lane barriers. I've always wondered what the point is.
