Before you get to the roundabout, READ THE LARGE GREEN SIGN AND NOTE THE ARROWS!

Which lane should I be in if I wish to turn and exit the roundabout?

perhaps they made the one lane configuration to eliminate the idiots that insist on going 270 degrees around in the outer lane----and that includes the president of the idiots club that previously posted that he always uses the outside lane to go 270 degrees because HE believes it is "safer". Like Judge Judy says, "you can't fix stupid".

My question was a rhetorical question, in response to the first above quoted post.

Realized that, my response was general, not directed to your post, but it was convenient.

I think it forces traffic into the outer lane if you are planning on taking the one lane exits.

OK, I see the one lane exit is the answer. Still, it seems like a clumsy way of doing this. Would it not be better to have a solid yellow line between the two lanes at these areas, with arrows pointing straight on the inside lane, indicating you can't make the right turn from the inner lane? Forcing one lane inside the roundabout seems like a dangerous move.

the net of it all is the lane markings of the roundabouts in TV are for the most part poorly lined. I say this as compared to many other municipalities I have traveled through. I also hestiate on this because as I (and many) have seen the driver has no idea the difference between a dashed and solid white line either.....

It just means what everyone does….close your eyes and keep going like you always have…no clue how to enter and leave a roundabout!!!!

That was my first guess but there are exceptions.

They also don't have shoulders and the high vertical curbs risk directing a vehicle back towards the other lane if the vehicle goes more than a foot off lane.

Probably why the posted speed limit is 15.

What are you talking about? The outside lane should continue straight. You never continue to go left from the outside lane, just like at a normal intersection you'd never make a left hand turn from the right lane. The inner lane has the option to go straight or left.

It maybe like that because most Villagers don’t know how or refuse to drive correctly in a roundabout!

Notice the dashed lines. There is always the possibility the car in the outside lane will continue and not exit. They should exit if they entered two streets before, but if they just entered at the previous street they can certainly continue. This is why you should never travel with another car beside you.

100)% correct. I've seen dozens of times the kamikaze inside lane car speed up to pass the outside lane car to exit into his/her gate

Simple. They are trying to stop the people in the outside lane from cutting off people in the inside line
