Before every roundabout there is a roadside sign that looks just like this. It shows two lanes entering the roundabout and what each lane is allowed to do. If you're in the right lane, you see half a circle with an arrow at the first exit and the second exit. If you're in the left lane you see a circle that goes 3/4 of the way around, and there is an arrow at the second exit and the third exit. Now memorized this sign.

A true round about is one lane off set the the right designed to slow down traffic at an intersection.

One lane roundabouts are for low traffic roads like two lane roads. If you have two lanes going and coming you GOT to have two lane roundabouts going and coming. Otherwise traffic would be backed way in and more crashes that demolition derby.

Waaaaay more than the average amount of accidents. And they all occur when you are in the vicinity. Hmmmmm.
