That leaves just us drivers to do the best we can.

As for me, if I'm negotiating a turn into a Village gate where I'm supposed to approach from the left lane, I will stay in the left lane and use the visitor gate. That's such a simple solution it seems it should go without saying.
Your approach seems logical and is one of their best practices, so hard to argue with that. My question is who are you concerned about merging with after exiting round about?

From my experience I have never had an issue merging to the resident gate lane. As I posted earlier, there should be NO CAR in that right lane to merge with if I have safely exited the roundabout to a Village with gates.

No argument here, just trying to understand where you see the issue?
