A bit extreme, don't you think?

The vehicle ahead of you DOES NOT have full, unfettered right of way to do anything, or turn in any direction. Some believe they do but they are wrong.

Notwithstanding the number and length of these threads, the rules of the roundabouts are very simple and are marked at every entrance to every roundabout in the Villages. Learn them, follow them, have a safe drive.

I have never seen workers in a roundabout without a plethora of orange cones and signs and usually a truck. If you are so distracted that you don't see all of that then an admonishment here on ToTV is not going to help.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
