I have lived overseas in countries with roundabouts for ten years of my life and they are a significantly more effective method to keep traffic moving versus stop lights/signs. The problem is with the residents here never being properly trained in navigating them and a County Commisioner's brochure designed to protect us from ourselves rather than effectively move traffic under the guidelines followed elsewhere. First note that most TV roundabout lanes are separated by dashed lines. This should be standardized at all roundabouts but is not, adding to the confusion. In all other locations I have been changing lanes within a roundabout is not only permitted, but encouraged. The same cautions and rules apply as changing lanes on a straight stretch of road (check lane, signal, etc.). To exit from the center lane to the residents lane move over safely using a turn signal to the outside lane as you pass the second exit. One must be be cautious of others incorrectly continuing all the way around the outside lane and also of drivers entering the roundabout rather than yielding to vehicles already in the roundabout.

Let the attacks begin.
