Sorry, Mike, but it is not simple!
These circles, roundabouts or rotaries are a death trap!
Most seniors do not know how to navigate them because they probably didn't have them in the cities where they are from.
Furthermore, these circles in other cities are often one lane around, not two.
In many cities these roundabouts are being taken out and replaced with 4-way stop signs or a traffic light, because they are dangerous.

Throughout the entire United States, a dotted line means you can safely pass and/or change lanes.
Then you get to the Villages where there are signs which compromise that law.
The signs indicate you can cross (remember -- safely) that dotted line and quite simply -- crash into the guy who is theoretically, going straight.

In addition, if you are going from Brownwood to Spanish Springs, there is no reason it should take a 1/2 hour or so to go about 5 miles.
The roundabouts are nothing more than a danger to residents and gas guzzlers.

I wish they would remove them, but alas! That will never happen.
