At first, these feel confusing, but have to think about how traffic should actually flow... If everyone follows the rules, it will work, but in this RAB configurations, YIELD is the magic word.

I believe I understand what you're saying... if you're coming from Lake Miona Rd and going straight through the RAB to Palmer, you need to immediately move into the inner circle then merge back to the outer circle in order to enter Palmer. (Same thing from Palmer to Lk. Miona Rd) BUT... this situation is not part of the original question (quoted above) that I was addressing.

The only reason I answered "wrong" to flipflopz's question was because of the usage of the term "only" and "Otherwise," where it excluded that you can normally proceed beyond the first exit and on to the second exit* in the outer lane or in other words proceeding straight which can be executed in not only the inner lane, but also in the outer lane. (I'm beginning to feel like I'm talking about belly buttons - innees and outies)

I do appreciate the comments I've received even if I feel they were unrelated, and thats because I think it improved my understand the RAB's and their usages and if that helped anyone else and made the RAB's safer for all of us, that's a good thing!

* When doing a final edit of this line, it dawned to me where FMF Doc's response may have been coming from. I just didn't have enough information to have comprehended it... not saying that I still would have.
