Default Roundabout etiquette

Every roundabout has a sign from either Morris or Buena Vista indicating the access route for each vehicle.

The outer lane of the roundabout is only meant as an exit lane once inside the circle it is not a left-turning lane.

The outer lane is only a straight through lane or a right turn lane. The inner lane can go straight through or turn left.

This is confusing for quite a few people, because they see a broken white line, but that line is meant for people entering from the right to cross into the traffic circle.

I am not certain whether the neighborhood roads intersecting the main roads (Morse and Buena Vista) have the same signage, but it would be helpful. It would also be helpful if people understood them.

It seems that every Villager should have a course in how to navigate roundabouts before they are handed the keys to their property.
