After reading an unbelievable 70 posts on this, yes some of them mine, I think I've found the nib of gist, as they say. (Well someone said it.)

Early on someone said TV was required to build two lane round abouts because of the county. As I look at how small they are, and how the turns are allowed, this seems to be the problem. They should be single lane and that would avoid all confusion. (But apparently it isn't possible.) I just reviewed several of them on Google Maps, and as it clearly shows you can enter at 6 oclock in the right lane, and keep going on north, but the person in the inside lane coming around toward you can turn right into 3 oclock from that left lane. That is still crazy, and as many people has advised, the only thing you can do is make sure no one is coming when you enter. Of course, what do you do when two cars enter together from 6 oclock and the right hand car plans to go straight and the left hand guy intends to turn right from the left lane.

Mr. Chairman, I move all discussion on this issue cease and we move to an immediate vote...and discuss other sillier subjects. "Is there a second?"
