Nope. The dashed line is proper. The driver in the right lane is allowed to go straight through the roundabout.

That's exactly what I said, "give the White car the right to cross the line". Again, the broken line should be a solid line to keep cars from turning into oncoming traffic.
Please read carefully what others write.

No the broken line is for those entering the roundabout from the far ride road entry.

[Lottoguy]

Then that means the person entering from the far right road can only go right immediately.

Good advice. If you were to take your own advice you would have seen:

Again: The rules are simple and are posted at every entry to all circles in the Villages (all that I have been through anyway).

They only seem to work well when traffic density is low. Therefore, all suggestions for change should be considered. I always liked one-way streets like the way Washington D.C. was set up. For example, it MIGHT (?) work to have all 4 lanes of Morse go (say ) SOUTH and all 4 lanes of Buena Vista go (say) NORTH. Then the smaller east / west roads could also be made one way. I believe that one-way roads tend to have fewer accidents.

Roundabouts are not a problem, they are a positive in getting cars from A to B quicker.
The problem is lazy drivers who cannot be bothered to learn the rule of the road, and make up their own rules.
The rest of the world has no problems with them.
Just Villagers!!

And if he had just entered the RB and was going 180 degrees straight through? You would then have him crossing a SOLID white line.

It's tough world out there...drive defensively and expect the unexpected

Boston has/had some of THE most confusing traffic patterns, & some of the most daring drivers i'd ever seen

Let's not be so quick to trash the "idiot driver." The driver crossed a broken white line.

This is from stateofFlorida.com:

"Broken white lines separate lines of traffic going in the same direction. They may be crossed with care."

If the line were solid where the white SUV crossed lanes, you would be correct.

Pretty sure that "traffic going in the same direction" doesn't include "making a left turn from the right lane"...
