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.

I agree. Additional signs need to be posted further down from the roundabout. This will provide plenty of time to make a lane switch, if necessary. Newcomers are not expecting a road like Morse to curve. They believe it is always straight thru and stay in the right lane.
