Regardless of which direction you enter from, your first exit is YOUR number one, the two, etc. The signs posted at the approach to each roundabout are very clear.

Also, no lane changes should occur once you are in the roundabout. You are either inside our outside.

Never enter a roundabout beside another car. Stagger your entry so that you are not T-boned. Also the speed limit of 20 is absolutely necessary. It is not an arbitrary speed.[/QUOTE

According to Lt. Wolfe, (Sumter County Sheriff's Department) a person making a LEFT TURN should use the VISTORS GATE ONLY! No lane changes should occur once you are in the roundabout and that includes changing lanes to go into the RESIDENT GATE! STUDY THE DIAGRAM, a person making a left turn is going into the VISTORS GATE which is always on the left side entering the gate. There is no lane change shown going into the RESIDENTS GATE.
AGREE you are correct...and do think before you get to the roundabout in which direction your going..
