This is most predominant in the snowbird season due to the heavier traffic. Each roundabout has a sign proceeding the roundabout that instructs you what lanes to use for where you’re going. Available that explains how to navigate a roundabout. Can you imagine if golf carts shared our roads?

I think things are fine just as they are.

We have lived here for 9 years and have never had a problem driving thru a roundabout. Sure, other ignorant or inconsiderate drivers sometimes cause a problem, but since I always have my hand on the horn, I often honk at them and keep honking until they stop or get out of my way.

I would prefer that ALL roundabouts be single lane. If traffic is too high for SINGLE lane roundabouts, then put up RED LIGHTS.

Follow the lines
 

If the dotted white lines go out the exit then the car in that lane has the right of way to exit. If the dotted white lines continue around the roundabout the left lane can exit but must yield to the outer lane continuing around.

No it’s not legal to make the 1st exit from the left lane, I don’t care if you have a turn signal on, or you have people with orange flashlights telling you you can exit. You can’t, and if you can’t abide by the traffic laws you shouldn’t be driving.

No you can’t, read the signs. EVERY sign before a roundabout has the SAME sign that shows you you cannot take the 1st exit. Do you know why there is a dotted line? I guess you don’t! It is for the people that need to get out of the left lane to make the 2nd or 3rd exit. If you understand roundabouts, there needs to be a way for the left lane to get out of the left lane to make the 2nd or 3rd exit or you will be going in circles forever. So, that’s why you have the dotted lines.
Certain people shouldn’t be driving

Might want to rethink the orange flashlight assertion.

Rule: The left lane/inner should NEVER need to yield to the right/outer lane - if everyone is driving correctly there should NEVER be a conflict.

Reality: It is highly likely that someone WON'T be driving correctly. While the left lane should not have to yield, I wouldn't want to sit on the witness stand and explain that I intentionally caused a collision because I had the right of way.

Don't over think it.

There is one and only one rule. It is not my opinion. It is the law.

And that is any vehicle already in the traffic circle has the right of way. This means that any vehicle approaching a traffic circle must yield.

However, there is an implicit corollary exception to this rule. And that is unless you are absolutely certain of the intentions of that vehicle already in the traffic circle.

For example, you are in the far right lane approaching the traffic circle. Your intention is not to make a right turn, but to enter the traffic circle and continue on the outer right lane. However, a vehicle is already in the inner left lane of the traffic circle but approaching from your left. At that point, you do not have a clear idea whether the driver intends to continue on the inner lane or make the right onto the main road. But at the point where the driver already in the traffic circle is past the point where a right turn can be made, you can then reasonably assume that you can also safely enter the traffic circle without colliding with a vehicle turning right in front of you. That is unless another vehicle has already entered the circle and then you will have to continue to wait. So, yes, there is a factor of judgement in the equation.

The scary thing is when I witness people approaching a traffic circle while I am already in it and never even look to the left. Their faces are fixated entirely on where they want to go instead of also on what's coming.

Another issue is hesitation. But this can be forgiven in light of the age of many drivers and their legitimate safety concerns both for themselves and others. So I often have to hit my patience and compassion button.

But I think the traffic circles are something everyone can do without.

Many, if not most, problems and agrivation would disappear IF everyone would follow the signs advice at every RB entrance. 20 mph!
Some folks shoot through RBs at 45 or more, "straightening" the curve by switching lanes left and right.
See it every day, sad to say.

I feel your pain! But, few Villagers, I fear, would be able to stand the extreme test of human or Christian decency or courtesy by allowing others to MERGE (right, left, right, left, etc). If one's acts of simple decency while driving was one's test to get into Heaven, I fear the Lord would be very lonely. Amen!

Awesome, you have an overhead map with cars on it. So zoom in to see the top of that roundabout. 441 is toward your right. El Camino Real is sorta northish (on that map, it's not straight up toward the top of the page).

See where there are cars entering from that right leg, and the right leg also has an exit and the whole leg is sort of in a triangular shape (there's a golf cart MMP lane that runs the entire perimeter of the roundabout, that's a spot where golf carts can wait for traffic to finish entering the circle)? Well my car was already OUT of that right leg, ON the roundabout. In the RIGHT lane, coming FROM the RIGHT lane of the leg. I didn't cross over any lines. The lady who cut me off hadn't even gotten to that right leg's exit yet, when I had begun to enter it. SHE was in the LEFT lane. The INNER lane. SHE crossed the dotted line, not me. See the car immediately to the right of the google red marker? That was the lane I was in, but I hadn't gotten that far yet. See the car that's IN the roundabout, right at the spot where it says Morse Blvd on the right? That's the INNER lane, and the lady who tried to cross in front of me, hadn't gotten as far as where that car is on the map, when I had already turned into the roundabout.

And so - I was already in the roundabout when she came around the curve. I was in the outer lane. She was in the inner lane. She crossed the dotted line trying to cut me off.

That only applies to roads that exit to a single lane. Where we were - there were TWO lanes after the exit. If you're in the inner lane of the roundabout, you stay there to exit to the "left" lane of the exit, onto a 2-lane road. If you're on the outer lane of the roundabout, you stay there to exit to the "right" lane of the exit, onto a 2-lane road.

The only exception on THAT roundabout, is Paige Place, where the roundabout exits from a 2-lane roundabout to a 1-lane road.

So, you were already fully in the RB lane 2, traveling at X mph when she appeared in RB lane 1, attempted to pass you in an effort to exit ahead of you? That's what it sounds like you are describing. She must have been flying.
And she did not appear until after you committed to entering the RB? Sounds like obstructed view of oncoming traffic and excessive speed on the part of the other driver?
Probably late for tee time

This is exactly why I do not pay any attention to directionals when in a RAB. People use the incorrect directional or don't realize their directional is still on (from a previous meneuver) when entering, while in or exiting a RAB. I use my directionals every where but a RAB. In one week of driving around The Villages, I can count on one hand the amount of people I see use directionals when driving in RABs. I prefer it that way. I just stay clear of any car when in a RAB. I vary my speed and do not drive next to any vehicle when in a RAB. I ALWAYS YIELD to any car in a RAB no matter which lane they are in. It is much safer that way.
