While the video above is good, it does not address the horrible danger of TV roundabouts allowing right turns from BOTH the right and left lanes.......a dangerous setup not found in most other multiple lane roundabouts. Here, drivers in the left lane will cut across in front of a driver in the right lane, to turn right from the left lane. This is insanity. Most roundabouts allow right turns from the right lane only, so that drivers who have chosen the right lane to go 180 degrees (straight) and NOT turn at 90 will not be mowed down by somebody on their left side zooming to turn right, in FRONT of them.
