Accidents waiting to happen, as is the same with the round abouts. People do not know how to drive them, people make right turns from the inside lane. We were hit broadside, the officer said it was definitely the other drivers fault, but he could not write her a citation because the circles were considered confusing. Another time, I was forced to swerve quickly toward the curb damaging my rim, because of another person making the same sort of wrong move. If The Villages feel the need for circles, then they should all be one lane.

Welcome to TOTV.
You must be more careful when driving in the roundabouts.
