Nowhere have I seen any documentation what you are supposed to do at the multiple roundabouts with the yellow lines forcing you to ONE LANE, see attached photograph. Perhaps if all of the roundabouts were the SAME it would eliminate some of the confusion.

It is as simple as that- left turn, left lane, right turn right lane, straight on both lanes.

If there was just one lane on the right for everyone but emergency vehicles maybe that would speed them up to their destination too. Whenever I hear a siren I look in the mirror and always seem to move to the right as far as I can. I don't remember if that's what I was taught or that's what I read, it's just an automatic response to get out of the way.

That is way too simple to understand. How can these roundabout threads continue with such an easy answer.

The Daily Sun had a complete article on roundabouts in Thursday's paper. Trouble was it was hidden in the Recreation New's weekly article called Our Place.

To those who say a single lane would solve the problems...do you really think that Morse and Buena Vista could function as 2-lane roads? Because if you want the roundabouts to have a single lane, that is what you're asking for. 4 lanes on Morse and Buena Vista would be a total waste and not increase capacity by a single vehicle over 2 lanes if they had to funnel down to one lane to enter the circles.

The threads complaining about the resulting traffic backups, the conflicts caused by the required merging (if Morse and Buena Vista were kept as 4-lane roads), and the enormous delays would dwarf those now complaining about the roundabouts.

Approach a roundabout in the left lane and go around in the inside lane 10 times and exit. Approach the next roundabout in the right hand lane and try to go around 10 times in the outside lane without getting hit. Please post your results.

Probably very few percentage. I'm surprised we don't have a lot of Gomer Pyle's trying to make citizens arrests on LEO's for things like that. 😉

You've got that right. Most people that I've seen, just drive over it. The written guidelines just ignore it.

It is interesting because every article I have seen shows TWO (2) COMPLETE lanes around the roundabouts, so back to my original question why are some for these LINED OUT for the interior lanes????

Those are lined out where the road you are entering is only one lane. This prevents two vehicles from trying to exit onto a single lane road. You'll see this at the Buena Vista roundabout near Turtle Mound, and the one on Morse near the County Annex before the bridges. There are others but I can't think of them right now. Interestingly the one near the Sarasota range has two lanes even though the Moyer Loop has only one lane.

Roundabouts
 

Yep. Another example is the roundabout at Morse heading into Lake Sumter Landing.

With the way TOTV posters moan and groan about the folks who drive too fast and the folks who drive too slow besides the folks who don't know how to navigate a roundabout...can you imagine the threads and posts that would result from the way no one merged properly into the one lane around the roundabout? Oy vey!

AHH! I see the point, I had not noticed the SINGLE LANE roads to the side. Very good point, thank you.
