Almost correct................in the left lane (inside lane) entering the circle, if you want to exit at the third exit.......you will cross the outside lane. |

Funnel all traffic into one lane. No right turns from left lane.

That would cause huge traffic back ups. There are very few accidents and very few awful accidents in traffic circles because people mostly do slow down and take care. It is new people that give the most hue and cry.

Using turn signals whether staying in or exiting the roundabout is the best solution. Why keep your intentions a secret? People complain about a lack of communication, here's one example! It really comes down to laziness and being inconsiderate of others!

Signaling only gives you a warning ( of what might occur) not a go -a -head . Assume nothing and check everything

It can be really confusing, especially when some of the circles allow the right lane to go completely around and others don’t. How many drivers remember the meaning of a solid line v. a dotted?
Signaling can help assuming others are paying attention. Also, people should remember that YIELD doesnt mean STOP. Bottom line: brush up on the rules of the road and use common sense, which unfortunately is not so common. |

That makes all right hand lanes on Morse and BV right-turn-only lanes. Not gonna happen.

There are lots of "rotaries" in the northeast. This concept is not that rare for a lot of us. The big difference is that you can change lanes in a "rotary" but not in a "roundabout". So you only exit form the right lane in a rotary as you merge to the outer lane before you exit. In a roundabout you are required to cross the outer lane from the inner lane to exit. That is the most critical point of conflict.
I think the "rotary" makes more sense and would resolve a lot of this but you would have to change every traffic circle throughout the Villages at the same time. Last edited by BostonRich; 05-20-2019 at 08:14 AM. |

MY driving habits include NEVER (NOT EVER!) drive BESIDE another vehicle close to, or inside a TV Roundabout. I will say NEVER yet again. One never knows the intention of that other driver. Defensive driving is the smart move. BTW I don't trust turn signals much (or lack thereof).
Also I try to NEVER stay in another driver's blindspots when driving roads or highways. Other drivers movements are uncertain when they see you, more hazardous when they don't. Defensive driving with constant checks of surroundings - mirrors and swivel-head. Always anticipating and knowing where you can go if another driver cuts you off etc...
