Forcing one lane inside the roundabout seems like a dangerous move.
If a car wants to make a turn on the 3rd exit on the roundabout, they are supposed to stay in the left lane until they clear the 2nd exit, then immediately get in the right lane to turn. This is for a scenio that isn't pictured, but quite common, especially when exiting to a one lane exit.
Anyone entering a roundabout should watch what the traffic that is already in the roundabout is doing, no matter the markings, before entering!
