Everybody knows the right way to use a roundabout. It's THEIR way. You can explain it till you're blue in the face, but that won't change their mind. I have 911 on speed dial.:police:

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.
Yes, you asked a reasonable question. And more than a few reasonable answers have been given...

I don't think anyone is complaining about you...

If you enter the roundabout in the inside lane you are not supposed to exit at the first exit. It would seem the "correct" way would be to enter the roundabout in the inside lane and then go all the way around the roundabout to exit at Deskin and get into the left turn lane for Burnsed.
What would you do if you were at a cross roads, without a roundabout? Do that.

But the answer is the same.

If you were in the left lane you would either go straight or turn left, make a U-turn, then use the left lane on Deskin to turn into Burnsed.

If you were in the right lane you could only turn left into Burnsed by cutting across the left lane and two solid lines.

Chances are good that I would turn from the outside lane into the left (inside) lane as several have suggested. It still isn't clear if that is the best choice or strictly legal.

NEVER EVER enter or go around a round about from the outside or right lane. The traffic on the inside lane or left lane going straight will T Bone you.
