After reading this entire post last Monday night, today, I conducted a purely unscientific survey of the roundabout crisis. I parked my cart in front of the Savannah Center, in full view of the Buena Vista, El Camino Real roundabout. I made my observations during a 15:00 minute period this morning. During this time period, 28 vehicles, in succession, used the outside lane to traverse the 270* route from southbound Buena Vista to El Camino Real.

5 vehicles used the inside lane to make the same journey.

Oddly, 1 of these 5, severely cut across, in front of a car that just entered the roundabout from northbound Buena Vista.

It is my finely tuned observation, that the 28 vehicles, using the outside lane caused no saftey concerns at all. I now believe that the roundabouts should be of one lane.
