Seems a perfectly legal maneuver to me.
Two Bills is correct, you cross safely at the broken line just as you are entering Deskin. Only if you go too far on Deskin will the line be solid. As others have mentioned you need to wait for it to be clear of other cars.

A roundabout is no different from any other intersection when it comes to traffic patterns. Exiting a circle from an inside lane is akin to turning right from the left lane. Yes, it’s that simple. If you find yourself in the inside lane and need to exit, don’t just shoot over, change lanes properly. If you’ve got to go around again, go around again.

To quote Luke Skywalker from Star Wars 8: "Everything you have just said is WRONG". Please stay out of roundabouts until you gain a miniscule understanding of how to navigate them. (Hint to get you started: You may use the inside lane to go both 180 and 270 in the RB. Under your "understanding", and I use the term loosely, you would be going around in the inner lane until the sun goes supernova since you cannot change lanes within a RB)

Remove all round abouts. Many have been removed through out the country for a reason. Traffic lights are the safest-no hesitation-traffic control.

Tell that to the dead people from accidents on 466, 466A and 44

It's been proven, time and time again, that roundabouts are safer than regular intersections... Both with traffic lights AND stop signs...

You can’t make the 1st right exit when in the inside lane. I know, many &$@$& do just like you can’t take the 3rd exit when in the outside lane. When you are in the outside lane, just go all the way over to the BURNSED rec center turn off, nobody will be next to you, you have the right of way at that time

C'mon, give the OP some slack. After all it's been at least 2 or 3 days since the last RB thread

Actually, it would be interesting to go through all the RB threads in the last 3 or 6 months and get a count of how many posts were absolutely wrong. The one just above was a doozey, I doubt we'll get a response from her since she is still going around and around in the inner lane, or worse yet hit another vehicle by changing lanes in that RB.

It's gone well. I think my question was of interest, since it's an awkward maneuver to do while observing the roundabout rules.

I do as suggested and enter the outside lane, immediately exit the outside lane, then maneuver over to the left - but I always feel a little uneasy doing it that way.

I'm forced to agree with that assessment. After all, we routed out at least one person that we don't want to get anywhere near in a RB
