Who knows how to drive on the round-a-bouts?
 

I drove from Sanibel to LSL on Morse today and saw seven villagers break the rules on the round-a-bouts. I went to a party and mentioned this to a long time villager and he argued with me saying the violators were correct. They were clearly wrong so I told the gentleman to read the round-a-bouts brochure and come back and tell me again they were right. Does anyone read the brochure and drive correctly on these things? I told my wife to assume everyone will screw up and to be super defensive. Have you read the brochure and do you drive the round-a-bouts correctly?

Yoo-hoo...........calling Bogie Shooter!!!! :D

Yes.....and yes.

I believe all the roundabouts now have the correct/updated signage telling how to roll through them properly. There should be no question about what you can do from which lane now.

Bill :)

That is what I thought. But these people either don't read the signs or don't care what they say. We're there signs showing the wrong directions?

Read the damn signs! Enough said!

Not sure why you would ask this question. There are about 10 or more threads with hundreds and hundreds of opinions in answer to your question.

Not to open old roundabout wounds--and with my memory, I could very well be wrong--but I thought the brochure we received last fall stated you couldn't take the second exit (i.e., 180 degrees, or theoretically going straight through the "intersection") from the right lane. Then a POA bulletin said the brochure was in error, and you could take the second exit from the right lane.

So maybe reading the brochure can add to the confusion.

Golfer In Sanibel you will get many helpful replies.

Here is a diagram from that brochure. It is correct.

Bogie,
I think Golfer was asking a purely rhetorical question out of very justified frustration.

Who knows how to drive on round-a-bouts? I do ....carefully

Change them to 1 lane and solve all the problems

I thought I did but judging by how many people do it differently, maybe I don't?

I'm soooooooooo confused.

I think the big secret is to not be directly along side another car.

The only time I have a problem is when I am in the left lane and plan exit right at the second exit. When passing the first exit a car enters the right lane and plans to continue to his second exit. So when I am planning to exit from the left, he is planning to continue to his exit. I think both are legally in the right lane but who has the right of way. I am cautious and let the car on the right pass through first but cars behind me honk as if I should keep on going. Hope you understand this description.

there is an app for that....up north we have arrows for the newly roundabout users
