I think they are all the same, at least 466 on south. You may turn right or go straight through (think four-way intersection) in the right lane. However, if you are going 3/4 of the way through (as if you were turning left at a four-way intersection), you MUST travel in the inside (left) lane. When you begin to cross over to make that turn, make sure you have your right turn signal on so people approaching the roundabout will yield--which they are supposed to do anyway, but some won't because they think yield doesn't mean for that lane if they are not going to use it.
The other thing to remember is that the yield sign when you approach the roundabout means yield to BOTH lanes in the roundabout. If you see a car in either lane, you must yield.
One more thing... Don't enter the roundabout at the same time as another car who may be next to you as you approach the roundabout.
Hope this helps.
