New signs are up for the roundabouts at least in some locations and they clearly show the path each lane should follow through the roundabout. Unfortunately, some people are not noticing the new signs and still follow the right lane all the way around as happened to me just now at the gate to Caroline. I'm sure some are not looking at the signs at all because they just "know" how to navigate the roundabout. But there is hope new residents and visitors will use the signs and close calls will decrease gradually.

There also is a yield sign when entering the roundabout......which many people ignore.

Just like they ignore stop signs.

I suspect there would have been as many ifractions if The Villages constructed four way intersection vis a vis round-abouts.....just saying

I'll bite - who does it bother if you always use the outside lane?

Or the guy in the proper lane who is trying to exit and is blocked by the car improperly in the outside lane.

Not yielding to traffic and makin a right turn from the left lane is stupid!

A matter of timing - the inside lane car should lag behind outside lane car or the outside lane car shouldn't enter the round n round until the inside line car has passed.

Chuck, I take it you don't live here yet. When you do, you will soon realize the danger that is caused by those who take the outside lane regardless of where they plan to exit the circle. Yesterday I was almost involved with such an accident with one of the trolleys whose driver apparently has never been properly trained.

Chuck, seeing how long you've been around and how many posts you have, I believe I know what you're up to... and I have a little chuckle with each post! However, as much I appreciate the posts, don't you think that there may be some of those people, that are being talked about here, that read these posts and are already confused enough?
