I get it now, but it took a few times passing the signs, plus someone on this forum explaining to treat a roundabout like a four-lane intersection.

I think some kind of signage with words under the graph sign would be helpful... Something like DON'T TURN LEFT FROM THE RIGHT-HAND LANE, YOU DUMB***!

Absolutely takes a little getting used to. But you did get it. My problem is with posters who have posted for years that they DON'T get it still. No excuse for them.

And then there's the poster who stated he will continue to go 3/4 of the way around the Morse/Stillwater one anyway because he wants to use the bypass at the next roundabout. Doesn't want to be bothered merging, ya know.
