They are becoming more popular in the US. They help move more traffic...

I'm waiting for them to install one of these...

Only on Wednesdays.

Great notice shows it clearly

You are mistaken if you think RBs don’t work in busy areas. Study after study have proven that they work best in the US and world wide. People just need to learn to use them. TV offers golf cart classes and in those classes RB usage is also taught. TV needs more RB classes, and all Villages should take one. As I’ve found a person knowing the correct usage can then ask thoughtful questions to help clarify misunderstood answers in class.

Yes, if you miss your exit or if it's blocked (eg pedestrian) you have the right-of-way to shift to the INNER lane safely and continue around...

Funny thing, in some countries you fly INTO a roundabout and only yield on the way OUT.....

Stay in your lane within the roundabout and use your right turn signal to indicate your intention to exit

When you discuss roundabouts, there is no place for "left" turns. They are not 4 way intersections.

Most *ARE* four-way intersections with an obstruction in the middle that you need to drive around. Fortunately, all the lanes have been shoved outward to avoid the obstruction resulting in what looks like a circle from above.

In the roundabout at Morse and El Camino, the on street marking arrows for the inside lane point left and straight only, they do not point to an exit right turn from the inside lane, even though their are broken white lines and a traffic lane to do so.?? This could be a valid point of contention if there is a collision from someone turning out of the RB from the inside lane. The lane shows exit acces but the arrows on the road do not.

The law is only irrelevant until you’re involved in an accident that you caused because you didn’t follow the law (or the rules you considered wrong).

I wouldn’t try to challenge this. The laws are actually very simple and clear. Get the Sumter County booklet on driving in a roundabout. All of this is based on USDoT data and recommendations.

The arrows in that roundabout, and in all the roundabouts I looked at, indicate the inside lane can proceed straight or turn left which is consistent with the green signs at the entrance to the roundabout. The broken lines don't allow the inside lane to turn right, they allow traffic already in the inside lane to travel straight out of the roundabout.

If traffic in the outside lane exits properly and traffic entering the circle yields properly then there will be no collision. Unfortunately, too many don't know or care what thw proper way is or they insist they know better.

A roundabout is just a junction, and the lane discipline is no different to any other two lane junction.
You make a left turn, a right turn or go straight on.
So simple.

I stood in the center island of the roundabout at the intersection of Morse Blvd and the north end of Moyer Loop. I had a pencil and clipboard and recorded the number of southbound Morse Blvd. vehicles that exited the roundabout onto Moyer Loop from the left (correct) lane in the roundabout and from the right (incorrect) lane. Amazingly out of 100 vehicles 50 did it right and 50 did it wrong despite the fact that there's a green sign visible to drivers coming southbound on Morse toward the roundabout with a diagram showing which lanes to use. This was a couple of years ago, so maybe by now more people have figured it out. I admit I was was doing it wrong when moved here.
