Thanks for the post and link. Looking at the new signage, I couldn't help feeling that the only way they could have made it simpler is if they drove through the rab for you!

Another thing that should be noted is that if you're are in the outer lane, and a vehicle in the inner lane makes a legal exit, you will be the one that will most likely be issued a traffic ticket. Comments on not only this thread, but other threads on this topic, I'm positive that there a a number of people that don't realize this.

Also, recently my wife was traveling south on Buena Vista prepared to move into the center lane. Half way in she was suddenly blinded by the sun and had to quickly stop. It was only a few seconds before she recovered and was sure of her placement in the inner circle, but if another driver appeared around the bend of the inner cicle or behind her and had their nose in her butt, there most likely would have been an accident. Always leave adequate space when behind someone entering the rab and be prepared and expect the unexpected!
