Default A Lot of Villagers Need Driving Lessons

on how to use traffic circles. The rules are fairly simple - traffic laws in circles are the same as those for a four way intersection. If you are entering from the right-hand lane you may go straight or using a turn signal, turn right. If you are entering in the left hand lane you may go straight, or using your turn signal make a left turn.

Making a right turn from the left lane we all understand is prohibited. Why don't people understand that making a left turn from the right lane is equally illegal and dangerous? They are putting in danger people who are obeying the law and going straight in the left lane. Several times I have had these people honk and gesture angrily at me for following the law (and incidentally the lines posted on the streets).
