Apologies - 1st Weekend
My apologies to everyone who was driving between Lake Sumter and Brownwood this weekend. I arrived in TV on Friday afternoon. Please tell me I’ll be able to figure out where I am and how to get through the roundabouts without hurting someone! I made turns without a signal, went straight with a signal, and still can’t get to Publix without having to do a U Turn! Be patient with newbies - they are like 4 year olds getting used to preschool. But, loving my rental in Amelia and ready to buy once my pending sale gets final!

Just remember golf cart stays in the cart lane. Car stays off cart paths

Quit bragging. :coolsmiley: I still have 3 years, 10 months and 26 days before I have to start apologizing for things. I am so jealous. I get my daily jolt by pulling up the weather reports in the villages just to read them. :bigbow:

OK, I have to admit during a lifestyle visit, I ended up on Stillwater drive in a golf cart, I think all the newbies get at least one OOPs, welcome to TV.

Thanks everyone! I am still going to keep drinking the zkoolaid.

Remember to use your turn signals in the round about

Those are the rules though. If you're going 3/4 of the way around the circle, you have to enter the circle in the left lane. And you're not allowed to change lanes. So you exit the circle to your right when you get to the exit, from the left lane. |

Turning right...from left lane. |
Roundabouts are the reason I stay in my golf cart. Enjoy!

"You should never use your left signal in a roundabout."
I nearly always use my left turn signal, once I'm in the rotary, to confirm to nearby drivers that I'm continuing around. Then when I've passed the last rotary to my right that I'm not taking, I use the right signal to indicate I'm exiting. Signal or not, however, caution and awareness of nearby cars is necessary. I don't recall reading that using the left signal is a no-no. |
Roundabouts......here we go again.:popcorn:
Oh wait, no need to repost all those opinions. Here are two threads from last month with 240 posts. Just copy and paste.:duck: |

It's easier to manage roundabouts if you plan your route in advance so that you KNOW at which roundabout you need to enter the circle in the left lane. Those of us who have lived here for a time automatically know this but newcomers are often unaware until they are in the rotary and it dawns on them they need to turn left.

There is no straight road in roundabout you are going to turn right at some point and when you do use you’re blinker light so others entering the roundabout know which way you’re going. |

We are new too and welcome... we are a retirement community and majority of us are newbies as the baby boomers are coming and fast! Just take your time and be safe. Read up about roundabouts. We avoid them during busy times but our location allows this. No worries... be happy and enjoy being a villager. It’s up to US to keep it Americans friendliest ! 👍🌴🚗🙏

Phewwww! After reading directions on roundabouts, it's clear as mud, yipsters, and I've lived here for awhile. I would only add, pray a lot. Btw, welcome to the villages. You will be a wonderful addition.

Going into every circle there's a sign that tells you which lanes to use. Most circles use the right lane for right turns and going straight the left lane for going straight and left turns. Some however only allow a left turn from the left lane and straight and right from the right lane. Take a look at Camino Real And Morris Boulevard.

If there is another near you in the roundabout IN EITHER LANE, you have to stop until that car is past you. |
