If you enter the roundabout in the inside lane you are not supposed to exit at the first exit. It would seem the "correct" way would be to enter the roundabout in the inside lane and then go all the way around the roundabout to exit at Deskin and get into the left turn lane for Burnsed.
A roundabout is no different from any other intersection when it comes to traffic patterns. Exiting a circle from an inside lane is akin to turning right from the left lane. Yes, it’s that simple. If you find yourself in the inside lane and need to exit, don’t just shoot over, change lanes properly. If you’ve got to go around again, go around again.
