What would you suggest in place of the signs?

The little green signs are posted so close to the roundabout that a driver cannot read the street names and decide impromptu which lane in a few seconds, all the while driving abd watching the other traffic. Roundabouts are easy for those who know the area and frequently travel the same route. Drivers unfamiliar, including many snowbirds, need to practice roundabout rules according to the previous posted diagrams, and not cut over because they didn't know which exit they needed. By posting an additional little green sign further back would give drivers more than just a few seconds to read and decide which exit they need. Again, it's almost always those unfamiliar with where they are going.
