One question I have had from our visitors...let's say you are going to take the 3rd exit, but want to be in the right lane to enter the right hand gate, when do you cross to the right hand lane? Where the white center line is dashed...dotted - - - - -? or after you exit the roundabout, by crossing the solid white line ____________? Where we all learned to drive, you don't cross solid white lines.

I just gauge when/if I move to the right dependent upon who is coming from my right. If I can't safely make it within the broken white lines, then I just stay left. Residents can enter the left gate also, so it really does not matter. I always also use my turn signal for whatever that is worth. Some drivers are so anxious entering the circle that I wonder if they even notice the signal.

The only real close call I have had in the roundabout was when I encountered a car backing up because he had missed his turn.
