One other point to make is why does everyone complain about a few bikes in the wrong when I see folks in cars cutting other cars off on a regular basis and no one seems to complain about that on TOTV. The cyclist are such a small percentage compared to the carts and cars here. We all make bad choices sometimes when we drive cars, carts and bikes. But I think for the most part, everyone tries to do the right thing. We just need to be a little less in a hurry.

Welcome to TOTV. There are hundreds of posts that point out how bad car & cart drivers are. Bike riders are not being singled out.............just have their own thread for now.

Since a major part of the OP's question is about right of way, I thought sharing this would be appropriate. Heading to Ocala , stopped at light at Buenos Aries - fire truck roars by going North on 441. We turn onto 441 and see lots of emergency lights at the next stop light. When we passed the accident we see that 3 cars collided almost head on at the entrance to the shopping plaza (Lowes, Bealls, car wash). Didn't appear to be anyone hurt but lots of crumpled grills and front fenders. First, since this entrance is controlled by a stop light, someone had to be running a red light. Second, in order for the 2 cars turning in from 441 to collide, someone had to have a serious attention lapse or be convinced that they had the right of way. I would love to see the police report on that one!!

bottom line, if you are in the traffic circle anyone who enters it has to yield to you
