I do this many times to enter the Hillsborough gate and it's legal to change lanes in this roundabout - follow the red line- |

And that is not a law but only a suggestion as pointed out to me by a Sumter County engineer when I inquired into the markings of this roundabout.

Happy trails to you. Thanks for the feedback. Please forward your Engineer's response to the Sumter County Commissioners so they will consider changing their pamphlet at the next revision. My "suggestion" would be change the bold solid red statement "Do Not Change Lanes in the Roundabout" to user friendly dotted yellow print/font.

The queue is usually shorter, and your card still works there. Or. Are you a "Resident" snob? |

Lots of "Guidelines & Informational Guides"...but NO actual statutes. Leading one to believe, that from a legal standpoint (in the roundabout itself)...they are a kind of 'anything-is-legal-land.' Anyone out there, that can link to actual Florida statutes and/or laws...applying to roundabouts?? Thanks. ![]() |

I don't like to wait for visitors to receive directions from the gate attendant. Gates that don't have an attendant have folks seemingly baffled as to what to do sometimes as they get to the gate. I just don't want to be delayed going through the gate if possible. Yes, I guess I am a resident snob. Sorry.

I am a resident and use that lane many times. Why not?

https://www.districtgov.org/communit...t-02-08-12.pdf Choose your lane: Approaching a two lane roundabout, make a lane choice according to the following rules: • If you intend to exit the roundabout more than halfway around, use the LEFT-HAND lane. • If you intend to exit the roundabout less than halfway around, use the RIGHT-HAND lane. • If you intend to continue straight through, use either lane unless signs or markings indicate otherwise. If I were the cop working a roundabout accident, I think the outside lane driver going to the third exit would get an "Improper Lane Usage" ticket. |
