Unfortunately, the signs contradict the road markings.

If I was driving my car to a Dairy Queen for a Buster Bar Parfait, I would figure out a way to get through the round abouts and not take out a guard gate on the way.

Good morning Villager Joyce. I LIKE the way you think.

I need to hug you in person one of these days.

Yes, I have noticed that in some roundabouts.

Ignore the lane markings other than to define the lane itself. The markings cannot be accurate in all cases because what is appropriate for a vehicle entering at one point is not for a vehicle entering at a different one. For example, there may be a dotted line in front of you when entering. It is there for a vehicle already in the RAB inside lane to exit. It doesn't mean you can enter in the right lane and move to the inside lane. Use the signs as the primary determinant for travel through the roundabout and you won't be wrong. And watch very carefully for those that don't know, don't care.
