How can it be safe being in the left hand lane at anytime if you are going to exit right? The traffic is going so fast that your chance of making the lane change to exit right is daunting. You'd probably have to sit there almost stopped in the L lane to get into the R land due to traffic not letting you over. Yes, I'm one who doesn't live there yet but I get the picture. I think I'll put rubber bumpers on the side of my SUV before I get there! Perhaps what TV should do for future round a bouts is construct one lane. It may slow the flow of traffic (which is needed) but at least it would flow more smoothly. For what it's worth..........
I don't understand how you could even write a post like this, if you looked at the previous posts [right above yours] with photos or followed Bogies link to the roundabout instructions. Neither of those (photos or instructions) say anything about turning RIGHT from the LEFT lane.

Sorry, not trying to be mean, but I don't get it ????
