Important to get in habit of looking at the sign when entering roundabouts, as there are occasionally exceptions to the 'rules' stated above. Example: Exiting (east) onto Paige Place from the El Camino Real/Morse Blvd/Paige Place traffic circle near Spanish Springs, there is only a single exit lane, which is for cars in the right lane. Vehicles traveling in the left lane may only exit onto Morse or El Camino (west). I have nearly been hit on several occasions while properly exiting onto Paige from the right lane by cars trying to exit from the left lane who expect me to yield. This happens particularly during snowbird season. I always stay alert for people making that mistake, and take a deep breath & count to 10 when they honk at me as if it were my error.
Hence the self-preservation rule of never ride side by side in a RB. There are several RBs that have a one lane exit----Morse at Pinellas/Moyer eastbound comes to mind immediately. If you are aware of the issue, like you are at Paige, you stay in the outer lane. But for newbies.........
