2 lanes once you get in there you have the right of way

So can't be compared to TV roundabouts.

Roundabouts
 
I have no problem with the way the roundabouts are set up. My issue is
I would like to see North, South, East & West arrows!! Very helpful especially for those not living here, then again for those who have been living here a long time and are aging.

what do you mean by "2 lanes"? Is it two lanes going into one?

How do you determine these directions when driving outside TV? I don't recall seeing those directional signs.

How does one interpret the RB instructional brochure? The only diagrams illustrating examples of how to navigate through an RB are of the main roads, nothing about the secondary/neighborhood roads. I have always assumed the rules were the same for the secondary roads. If so, then, depending on where one enters, every exit can be exited in either lane, which seems crazy to me.

In cars in roundabouts, using your turn signal helps communicate your intentions but still, the best action is to drive carefully and defensively. Be alert for the other cars maybe doing the wrong thing.

Then rules for the roundabouts are the same through out the state of lorida. They are governed by FDOT. Anyone needing help navigating them or who need further information should use Google and search for Florida DOT video on roundabouts. Very helpful.

If people do not understand arrows now how will they ever be able read statements and understand!

Unless I'm missing something, the signage basically allows for exiting from either lane depending on where one enters the RB.

I agree...Words are subject to to being mis-understood where as arrows guide.

Arrows are on many signs all over, not just roundabouts.

The biggest problem is, the round abouts are too small to handle 2 lanes of traffic. they need to be dropped down to one lane like they are starting to do at Brownwood. Then there is NO question as to if you are exiting or continuing further around.

And you'll have lots of time to think about it while you wait on the merging and queueing of traffic entering from two lanes.
