These roundabouts remind me of European vacation.

WHAT!!!!. Drive much???????
I feel sorry for anyone who never stops entering a RB when an 18 wheeler is coming around. Of course you HAVE to stop when traffic is coming. Another example of people not understanding a VERY simple concept of navigating the RBs

Have you noticed that triangular YIELD sign at the entrance to all the RBs???? It is NOT a suggestion and it is NOT there for decoration. I just hope I corrected the misconception posted before someone gets killed.

You hit the nail on the head, these roundabouts are way too small to work correctly and the speed of the cars are about 20 miles per hour too fast. I come from Jersey and the random pads are at least 100 or 200 ft across larger. Also it is ridiculous to say stay on the inside or staying on the outside Lane depending on where you get off the only safe way to drive them is to stay on the outside Lane make sure no one is next to you or trying to come in when you're going around. I really wish they would have some lights

Best answer yet, and never be side by side with another car .

By making up your own rules, you will certainly create a future accident with someone that does follow the standard rules.

This is why there should be no roundabouts and we should just have traffic lights. Everybody is an idiot when they're driving and I don't know anyone over the age of 50 that can change lanes three times in the space of 100 ft safely

So, are you advocating staying in the outside lane to go to the third (270 degree) exit? Sounds like it. Please post a schedule of when and where you will be navigating the RBs so the other 129,999 of can avoid the area.

I think that if the roundabouts were traffic lights in season the villages would become a giant parking lot. Check traffic backups at Morse and 466 ,traffic flow around El Camino Real roundabout and imagine what it would be with traffic light and all the turn signal wait times. Thank God we have roundabouts.

Still don't get it? There is NO NEED to change lanes in a RB (if you know what the rules are and not making up your own). As far as EVERYBODY being an idiot, I'm not, but I can name at least one driver who is........

It would be a nightmare.

I hate government regulation, but based on the posts in this thread, I would be willing to advocate a special written and road test just for navigating RBs in TV, with a license endorsement. You fail, you use your golf cart inside the bubble, and if leaving the bubble have a friend drive your car to the city limit and meet him there.

People who like Draconian solutions would LOVE this one:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

A very accurate post!!

Single lane?
 

You can treat them like a single lane rotary if you still follow the rules and only turn right or go straight from the right hand lane, and only go straight or turn left or make a U-turn from the left-hand lane. Other than that, you are doing it wrong.

Correct. The two land roundabouts work great for everyone who pays attention and stays in the lane without clipping corners. They save so much time! But they require constant alertness. I usually can merge at 20 mph and rarely need to stop, but my reaction speed is fast. Plenty of people here don’t react that quickly. Yesterday I got behind someone who actually stopped at all roundabouts when there was NO oncoming traffic. I always need to be alert for people like that. Don’t ever change lanes IN a roundabout. Figure out which lane you need before you enter the roundabout and stay in it. I think the roundabouts in The Villages are marvels of clarity and good design. “Clarity and good design” are not always attributes of the minds of drivers, unfortunately.

I can make it simpler. "Just don't get hit"

Morse Blvd roundabout just east of 441 is survival of the fittest. Cars just go lane to lane looking like they dont know where they want to turn or else they dont know how to maintain a lane. Ive had them cut in front of me almost taking my bumper off, had them stop for no apparent reason causing me to almost bond with them, honk at me when Im in my lane, bikers just come zipping by like they own the road, golf cart drivers just stare straight ahead and go. I guess if they act like they dont see you it gives them right of way. Roundabouts arent difficult. Many times its just inconsideration
