Forget the broken lines and the signage if that confuses you. It's simple just to think of the roundabout as an intersection of two roads that are two lanes wide in each direction.. You would not ever make a left-hand turn from the right lane of that intersection, so don't do it in a roundabout.
CFrance...thanks. I understand how they need to be navigated...was just suggesting perhaps why it is so difficut for others, and a possible "solution". The line painting just doesn't make sense...at least in my mind. And for what it is worth, I am refering to making the right turn to the left most of the two entry lanes approaching the gate.

According to the pamphlet linked in a post above, "Do not change lanes within the roundabout or as you exit"...Sooo, there is no way to get into the visitor lane? At least at the Pinellas entry from Morse, as the OP mentioned. I will continue to change lanes as I exit the roundabout while I cross the solid white line.

And my reference to 3 o'clock was based on a previous poster's suggestion giving a point of reference.
