Yeah! Post cops at every exit to shoot any law breakers. Now, that is enforcement!

No wonder why people have so many problems diving in the roundabouts, they can’t describe the correct way to navigate them. Here are a couple statements that make no sense:
1) In theory, you never have to cross the "outside lane" to exit a Roundabout.
2) stay in the inside lane to turn left.

What? If you are inside lane lane to make the 3rd exit, you will have to cross over the outside lane to exit or you will always be going in a circle.
There is no left hand turn in a roundabout, only right hand turns to exit. Going around the roundabout is not turning left, if you turn left in a roundabout you will turn into the center where all the shrubs and trees are.
Using your turn signals doesn’t make a mistake into a right (no pun intended). For example, entering the roundabout into the inside lane and making the 1st right with your turn signal on doesn’t make it right.
I see these errors occur everyday.

Oh great, like we need more laws? They do enforce the laws, we don’t need more laws, isn’t that why you moved from New York?

You can go around the circle as many times as you want. I don't know the law. I have one rule when i approach the traffic circle: Approach it with caution. If the other person wants, or takes, the right of way, then give it to them! Always keep your eye on the cars around you, keep distance between you and them and ASSUME they DO NOT know the law or even that you are there.

The diagram does not show that option (presumably because it is an unlikely scenario) but as long as you are in the inside lane and not signaling to take the next exit you can stay there as long as you like.

Always approach the round about with caution. Some like the one at Savannah Center/El Camino/ GlenView is in the top 3 for accidents. Be safe, learn the rules, be cautious, you never know what someone else might do..,

Curious - how do you know “how few” people know…..? Do you have a crystal ball!

If you can’t figure that out you need to go turn in your driver’s license!

You are misunderstanding the tern "turn left" as it applies to roundabouts. "Turn left" means "take the third exit". You are making a left at the intersection.

The solution to this is roundabouts have only one lane. Easy Peasy!

Two lane roundabouts is the crux of the problem.
