According to the sheriff, changing lanes within a roundabout is not kosher. Those broken lines are placed to let you know that a car (within the roundabout) is allowed to cross the "flow" of traffic. ie.; You are inside lane exiting at noon. Car enters from 3:00 intending to exit at your 9:00 (his noon). If your white line was solid all the way through your flow to noon, it would imply that no one was to cross that line. Yet, of course, the guy that entered from your right needs to cross that line, so it is broken.
There is not room or time to change lanes within the roundabout and you can be ticketed for doing so.
