Though technically, everyone in the circle is making a continuous left turn until they turn their wheel to drive straight out of the circle.

Otherwise, if I'm going south on Buena Vista and get to a particular circle I can either turn right onto 44A west, go straight on Buena Vista, turn left onto 44A east, or make a U-turn. Telling someone to turn right onto Buena Vista at their first opportunity which happens to be the second exit or telling someone to turn right onto 44A but at the third exit and not at the first but be sure to be in the left lane since you are going three quarters of the way around is just unnecessarily confusing.

I think a lot of the confusion arises from those who post that EVERY turn out of a RB is a right turn. A simple lesson in geometry and topology would solve that. Just follow the signs or the instructions in the pamphlet they give every new owner.

I agree. The only nice thing about the roundabouts is the view of the flowers and if you look too long that causes an accident - so, you can't even enjoy the one virtue of them. My main problem with them is the COST - of CONSTANTLY replacing the flowers. And the workers truck has to park inside the roundabout (I think I am correct about that) and even THAT invites an accident.
......I would put stoplights on the most traveled circles and go with the SINGLE lane on the less traveled roundabouts.
......As a side note....in a few years, we will all be in electric self-driving vehicles. I imagine that they will be able to handle the roundabouts (AKA fender-benderabouts). And I love those electric non-polluting Amazone trucks...amazing!

Well I guess I have 1/4 of a brain because after the first sentence you lost me. :MOJE_whot:

I REALLY agree with this post. This IS the best post that I have EVER read on this roundabout subject.

Well, after a new fun thread on roundabouts was started, it has now turned into the quarterly long and drawn out thread on the topic.
Not going to offer any suggestions , however , some people are really stupid! :shrug:

CFrance, I enjoyed your post, and thought I’d share this with you in the same spirit.

See How an Insane 7-Circle Roundabout Actually Works | WIRED - YouTube

I cannot see one of these in the Villages as it would take away from the space available for still more houses!

There's NO left turn from the circles. If you turn the steering wheel clockwise, you are turning right. If you turn the wheel counter clockwise (left) you will continue to circle. To exit the circle, you ALWAYS turn right.

I disagree with this post.

As long as 2 lanes exit the RB, it's not a "turn", it's simply a curve in the lane.

In Europe and here in UK in many cases, just a small painted circle in the middle of a junction with a sign saying, 'Roundabout' is sufficient.
If the roundabouts were three times the size in TV, the problem would still be the same.
It's the total ignorance of the drivers to the correct procedure that is the problem, not the size of the roundabouts.

Also the should never be vehicle crossing into or In front of left lane if (BIG IF) the followed signs and flow pattern entering and exiting roundabout.

I'm late responding, but this is really funny!:clap2:

So you REALLY want more delays, congestion, and conflicts at all intersections!?!

I totally agree with ONE lane circles. I do not care if the traffic increases and is slower, since I am retired and not in a hurry anyway. For those that keep shouting that we just need everyone to learn how to use the roundabouts, it ain't gonna happen. Even on here, I see people indicating that they do not know how to use the circles. How do you expect all those folks during rush hour that are going to work and insist on taking the Villages as a short cut to learn?
Best thing that can happen is to make them all one lane and put gates at each entrance to the villages from the highways (42,466, 466a, 44). They have one at Rt466 and Morse. And another point of crazy is their allowing golf carts to travel on Morse. How crazy is that? Why didn't they put a golf cart trail off to the side like they do on the other main roads?
And you cannot take a LEFT turn off of a roundabout. If you all insist on saying you can, then you are probably the same ones that complain about folks not understanding how to maneuver through a roundabout.
I see no problem with newcomers or visitors using the right lane only in the circles, as long as they watch for turning vehicles from the inside lane. It is probably the safest way to make your way through the crazy two lane circles.

Why was this dead horse brought back to life? So previous posts could be repeated once again?
