All the more reason to use the golf cart whenever possible!!!!
The right lane can only be used if you want to use the first or second exit. (See sign Graciegirl posted or see roundabout brochure.) If you are exiting on second, third, or fourth exit you MUST be in the left lane. If you are in the right lane and try to use the third or fourth exit from when you entered, you will be turning into a car properly going through the roundabout in the left lane and you will be T-boned. Exiting only from the right lane in every case is not correct and will eventually case an accident.
