So true. I went through the roundabout at LSL on Morse twice today and both times a vehicle entered the roundabout as I approached them. They stayed in the right lane (I was in the left lane.) But I couldn't know if they were going south or around the roundabout to go north, so it was very disconcerting.
In the first instance, the vehicle stayed in the right lane and went around the roundabout at Stillwater in the outside lane and into the Caroline gate. Fortunately, for me, that's where I was going so we avoided the dreaded T-bone.
But we've also noticed a decline in roundabout lane and entrance discipline over the last few weeks.
Also, crossing 441 at the lights at Griffin Road/Avenida Central today, I was in the left lane at the light with a car to my right. When the light turned green, the car to my right proceeded across 441 into the left lane cutting me off in order to turn left onto Rio Grande.
As Gracie said, drive carefully. It's getting to be the Wild West on the roads.
