It's "us" that buy houses and then rent them out for the season FOR AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE!

I'm wondering who the greedy ones are?

The developer builds and sells houses. We buy them and then create a tourist destination by renting them to folks who want to spend a few months in the warm, Florida sun. Nothing wrong with that, but it is what it is.

The person in the left lane can go straight or make a left turn. It is deceiving though when watching traffic exit the RABs.....it sort of looks like everyone is making a right turns when they really aren't. It all depends on where a person enters the RAB.

From the entry point in a RAB.......

The first exit is a right turn (from the outside lane)
The second exit is going straight (from the outside or inside lane)
The third exit is a left turn (from the inside lane)
The forth exit is a U turn (from the inside lane)

This is what a roundabout looks like to first timers:

I see that all the time also. What a waste of money to put up those green signs showing drivers what lanes should do in the roundabout.

Yesterday I was driving on St. Charles going to BV Blvd; at the St. Charles gate a large SUV made a right hand turn onto the golf cart path at Sandhill. Several of us honked our horns; a maintenance worker got him straightened out.

The lunatic that backed up on the roundabout diagonally across both lanes was driving a "large SUV" too.

Everyday as I travel Buena Vista towards Sumter Landing, I am passed by Out Of State cars going 45-50 mph. Don't the speed limits apply to them?

Forget about the roundabouts. While traveling south on Buena Vista, I stopped at a red traffic light on 466a to observe a car in the left(east) turn lane decide to turn right and proceed in front of three lanes of stopped cars to then travel west on 466a. Right turn on red from the left turn lane! Didn't know that was OK in Florida.

I was told someone watched that circle for an hour and over 50% of the cars in the right lane going east on Stillwater into that circle proceeded around the circle and headed north on Morse. Many I assume want to be in the right lane coming out of the circle so they will be in the by-pass lane of the next circle. That however is no excuse.

So they are approaching the roundabout in the right lane on Stillwater. You mean they also stay in the outside lane of the roundabout all the way around?

I'm surprised it was only 50% lol. I agree with many of the drivers wanting to take the northbound by pass.

[Bogie Shooter]

Unless you have some idiot in the right lane, it is easy enough to stay in the proper left lane to merge right to enter the by-pass after exiting the roundabout.
Just read the damn signs on entering any roundabout.
