Thus if you have 2 lanes, both could go straight with each lane exiting from the same lane in which they entered. The 3rd exit is the same as making a left turn. So you would need to enter in the inside lane, just as you would at a regular intersection. You would also exit from the inside lane. You never change lanes while inside a traffic circle. ALL ENTERING TRAFFIC HAVE A YIELD SIGN and MUST YIELD TO ALL CARS THAT ARE ALREADY IN THE TRAFFIC CIRCLE. This explains how a person makes a left hand turn inside a traffic circle. (It is by using the 3rd exit from which you entered the circle) So, yes, YOU ARE CORRECT about continuous right turns, It is just that you need to enter AND exit in the proper lane according to the exit you plan to use.

The "exiting" from the left lane is all relative to where you entered and where you exit----the only time it is "wrong" is when you plan on exiting at the first 90 degree exit--in which case you should be in the right lane. But the most important point---the one that makes it all work---is that NO ONE SHOULD ENTER A RB WHEN THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN EITHER LANE. YIELD MEANS YIELD!!! To do otherwise is just a set up for an unscheduled meeting of vehicles.

If you look at the arrows RIGHT lanier must exit at the first exit to have the right away, other wise you half to yield cause you are exiting at the second exit or yield. ( which means you only have the right way at the first exit if cars beside you or slightly ahead of you.) Even it you enter the round about with traffic in the round about you have to yield (which shouldn't be entering rouandabout when traffic in it and that means coming Around, if they don't have blinker light on that means they are coming around or the Are DSs that don't use blinkers lights. That's what causes accidents, people can't follow the signs or arrow directed signs.

:popcorn:

Rule 1: Always expect the other driver to do the most idiotic thing imaginable

Rule 2: I always adjust my speed in a RB so as to never be next to another vehicle

My point exactly. What kind of idiot turns right from the left lane, cutting in front of the right lane of traffic to do so? Should be given a ticket.

After entering the roundabout, taking the first exit from the left lane is not proper. Taking the second or third exit from the left lane is perfectly fine.

Exactly!

Why is it so hard for some people...to understand that? :oops:

A am amazed that I agree with-- I agree with 4 lane roundabouts the navigation directionally signs should be standard like the one in the bottom or the many arrow lane sign before most roundabouts. Why they have the tops ones I'm stumped???:undecided: I know that's hard to believe!

IMO that scenario rare? Really takes a DA to exit right in the left lane at first exit after entering roundabout. The rules and law clearly states right lane done not have right away to go straight after the first exit in roundabout.

And this Thread has gone on thru 7 pages??? Where do I go to get a life???

Anywhere you would like.

The beauty of the way this whole thing works, is that you can even choose...not to read the posts in this thread. :thumbup:

I guess nowhere cause you're here reading all of it;)

I agree,my golf cart will run 20 mph. I think every golf cart that has ever followed me has passed me when I'm going 20 mph. Some of these golf carts will pass me going over 25 mph. Since I've lived here as a resident for 6 yrs. I've only seen 3 golf carts pulled over. People must set their own governor what they want it to run. Everytime I get something done to my cart at the dealer, they want me to sign a paper saying I'll let me reset or check my cart to see if it only runs 20 mph. Everytime I get it back it always runs slower. Personally I don't think it really does any good to have speed laws on carts that they don't even enforce. Also I don't think people on carts know what a STOP sign is, nobody stops, they slow down & go right on thru the sign. I'm surprise someone hasn't gotten T boned at one of the tunnels yet. People leave there turn signals on & people at the tunnel exit assume these people are going to turn. It was a bad design for the cart manufacturers not to put automatic disengaged turn signals on carts.

Maybe we need a thread about people who let their dogs poop in the roundabout??? Just sayin, let's cover all the bases!:D

Wishing for more tickets
 

OP, someone once told me, “careful what you wish for”.

I have seen Village vehicles on Buena Vista doing way over 35miles an hour. So if Community Watch, Trollly, and Village airport vans cannot follow the law why should anyone? Sad world.

I am a advocate of driving the speed limit in The Villages. I question why Powell Rd has a 35 mile speed limit. A 4 lane divided highway with very low volume side traffic I don’t understand why the speed couldn’t be a 45 MPH road like the 2 lane extension north of 466A.
