The roundabouts are never going to be one lane. The guide details the proper lane usage. Those that think they know better than to follow the signs and guide are creating the problems.

And the comment about making a left turn from the right lane is accurate. It is best to consider a roundabout to be a regular intersection. To make a right turn, you would use the right lane entering it. To go straight, either lane. To make a left turn, use the left lane.
