Just so they can speed through the roundabout a few miles an hour faster??? I just wait until both lanes are clear and proceed.
You are absolutely correct in what you are saying. But here's where the real problem is:

The green sign as you approach the circle, tells you how you should drive around the circle. But then you get to the actual circle where we have painted lines within the circle. The painted lines belie what the green signs say. Dotted lines on any road, say you can change lanes.

Is it any wonder the circles are a problem? In actuality, the guy who was changing lanes was within his legal right, according to the dotted lines.

So which do you follow . . . the green sign or the dotted lines???
