I think you'll like the changes they are making to the signs at the roundabouts. They are making them more like the ones I saw in Scotland. They will show more clearly where each approaching lane can and cannot go. And they will show the destination/road name for each exit from the roundabout. So, when you approach a roundabout, it should be clear which lane you should be in for each destination/road exiting from the roundabout.
