I have been in Round abouts all around the world and I find the way of the law in The Villages hard to follow. I know that both lanes have the right of way to leave the circle at each and every off shoot, but I have to concentrate on that every time I am in one. I seem to have a natural instict that I have the right of way to continue on my path from the outer lane and should not be concerned about the left lane traffic at all.
I think of Parliment and Big Ben in the Vacation Movie when in the inner lane and slow, look and shift to the right before I leave the round-a-bout. I know the law, but feel very strong that I am crossing into oncomeing traffic if I exit from the inner lane. Maybe the law needed a relook. Would making them all into one lane only slow down traffic significantly??
