I believe the correct procedure, as indicated on the signs, is to enter the inside lane and stay there until your exit if you are going 3/4 or all the way around. I noticed something interesting in that picture though. There is no access on the side opposite Hillsborough, therefore there are no dashed lines between the inside and outside lanes entering BV south. This is because traffic in the outside lane would have entered from BV and has made it halfway around so should not continue towards the Hillsborough exit. Yet, there are two lanes there, so maybe what you're doing is acceptable. Still, watch out for cars in the outside lane even if they're not supposed to be there.
