Reading these "roundabout" threads is disturbing. I posted the following on another thread:

Please, folks, read, study and understand the rules for negotiating roundabouts. There is a fund of misinformation out there. This one says it should be this way and another says it should be another but the real answer is in the rules as clearly presented in the in the brochure provided at this site:

It is in pdf form so may take a minute to load. Be patient. Print it. Study it. Remember, it is your responsibility to know the rules as they apply in Florida. I, too, have negotiated some of the aforementioned, roundabouts, rotaries, traffic circles, as well as others in the UK. But we are in The Villages, Florida so lets all get on the same page.

BTW, the lack of signs as well as confusing arrows and striping do nothing but add to the confusion.

The more I read on this and other "roundabout" threads the more concerned I become.
