It's not that they don't know what they are doing. It's that people are certain that only they know the rules. Everyone else does it wrong.
Evasive action happens only when someone does not yield. These RABs work beautifully, like a choreographed dance, when everyone yields to other vehicles at the correct times. Yielding is the key.

Just the other day, some young buck approached the RAB so fast, I just knew he was going to jump in ahead of me as I was approaching that exit. Sure enough, the guy sped into the RAB when he should have yielded to me. I let him know he was wrong, wrong, wrong with what he did and I layed on the horn. He thanked me by giving me the finger as he zoomed by me.
