This is the root cause of the problems. In Europe and Asia the rules and markings are the same for every roundabout. Not true in TV. TV needs to determine a standard for signage/striping and implement the same. Then the issue becomes education and compliance. Roundabouts are very efficient at moving traffic when properly utilized. As in any other driving situation, if you are changing lanes you must yield to the lane to are changing into ie. turning right from the center lane.
