I hope you are still talking about driving.

It is impossible to expect 100% of the Village population to correctly negotiate 2 lane roundabouts........IMPOSSIBLE !!!! Roundabouts should be made simple, not complex.
They worked perfectly before all those clueless EV’s started showing up : )

They are all over Europe (including your beloved Scandinavia) and they seem to handle them just fine...

How did a thread about reminding people to not trust a golf cart with a turn signal on turn into a discussion about driving in a round-about? 🤷*♂️ Carry on.

I wish there was a polite hand signal to let cart drivers know their turn signal is on.

Do not agree.
I have driven all over UK and Europe for 60 years, and have yet to see a two lane highway go to one lane at a roundabout.
I have seen three, four, five lane roundabouts, multi direction roundabouts, roundabouts within roundabouts, and negotiated the infamous Arc de Triomphe roundabout many times.
Roundabouts seem to work everywhere with minimal fuss, except in The Villages.

Naaah. They work here too…with minimal fuss for the vast majority. :)
