They should have them in the Sales Offices and give them to all visitors.

I like the roundabouts because, when properly used, they save time and they save gasoline that would be wasted in stop and go driving through stop signs.

I try to always follow the guidelines, but I never assume that others in the roundabout know them so I always signal when changing lanes and always drive defensively.
Its even on line.........................
