Anyone entering a roundabout should watch what the traffic that is already in the roundabout is doing, no matter the markings, before entering!

NO! This will cause an accident!
If you are going to take the third exit then enter on the inside lane, stay in that lane until the third exit, then exit into the left lane of the road you are turning onto.
If the road at the third exit has only a single lane then there ought to be markings in the roundabout to direct you to the single lane that exits onto that road.
In the case where there is a single-lane exit but no markings (Hillsborough across Morse onto Moyer Loop) then you should have seen the correct pattern on the green sign before entering the roundabout.
As many have posted before, pay attention to the green signs -- they are there for a reason!
