Same thing happens at Buena Vista at Stillwater. People going south enter in the right lane intending to exit onto Stillwater and have to cross a solid line to do so. I see two reasons for this. One, people who have not encountered roundabouts previously and are confused how to navigate them. And two, people who HAVE encountered roundabouts elsewhere and just KNOW how to do it so they don't pay attention to the signs that designate lane use. OMG, another RAB thread!!!! And I posted on it. Shame, shame. |

There's a new phenomenon. People now think the vehicle making a left turn have the right away where approaching traffic will wait in place while those approaching make their left turns. I've experienced this under all sorts of conditions where traffic grinds to a halt because no one knows what the hell is going on. How did this mind set occur? I can only think it's because someone without any common sense or experience did this and the sheep follow. It sounds like those it a roundabout have the same illness. I also think it has a connection to political correction run amuck.

For drivers that are not use to the runabouts the 2 lane ones can be confusing.Maybe they should be converted to one lane???

My friends, my friends, my friends, You live in The Villages EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. We have people from just about every geographical area in the Western Hemisphere. It should be clear to everyone that utilized a round-a-bout once that some folks are just too timid. Tthey don't know the difference between yield and stop. They can't see that a round-a-bout is no more than a curved intersection. They either panic or have short attention spans when navigating? They haven't figured out that if they signal their intentions it helps other drivers. We big city drivers understand the complexities of multiple lanes on/off exits etc and recognize that all you need to do is go with the flow and trust ( well trust but verify) every other driver knows what s/he is doing because s/he who hesitates creates a stoppage of traffic
Of course all of this still can't explain why I almost rear ended a guy who parked his golf cart in the left lane of a round-about and was out walking around:D I am grateful for round-a-bouts because they 1) alleviate traffic 2) give me a break to talk about something better than the awful politics of today Personal Best Regards: |

You nailed this one .............. when navigating a roundabout from the inside lane, have you ever glanced over and seen the look of absolute terror that the person on the outside lane has etched on their face and these are the people that always navigate every roundabout from the outside lane, they are also the driver to be most afraid of meeting in a roundabout because you do not have a clue where they are going. |

That's actually done fairly frequently. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone blow through a round about and use both lanes in an effort to make as straight a line as possible. Idiots like that would last about 15 seconds on the 4 lane rotaries in the Boston area. |
