I suspect the circle in the picture above is an example of that.
The lane markings are accurate yet deceiving at the same time. A vehicle in the inside lane approaching from the left may exit to your right, this is what the markings show. Traffic entering from the left lane into the inside lane is NOT allowed to take a right and follow that vehicle.
Don’t try to complicate things.

There are different circles with different rules. A newer driver may not realize that not every circle is the same and take for granted or generalize ,”What’s the same for traffic circle A is the same for the rest of them.”
Compounding the issue would be the dashed lines which give the option for two adjacent lanes to either maintain a straight forward bypass of an exit and also permit either lane to turn. Meggison and Morse have this. If an outside driver wishes to continue straight, they are in for a rude surprise if the inside lane driver decides to turn off to the right.
