While studying details of that Morse photo, and without reading all the responses... I'll guess that the ones without the yellow lines allow drivers to stay in either inside or outside lanes while entering or exiting the roundabout on the left. (You can send the free cookie coupon to this account.)

The markings are place where a road being exited onto is one lane.

I love roundabout, got very used to them in Europe years ago. I do scratch my head as to why the design engineers put what we have here in The Villages. I have been here for twelve years and have made many observations of accidents, close encounters and people stopping in the roundabout unsure what they have gotten into. . We have a population of senior to very senior residents, many of whom should probably not be driving due to eyesight, reflex and other cognitive shortcomings. Couple that with a good percent that find it difficult to transit them and it seems to be to be a recipe for problems, I always felt that a one lane roundabout made more sense here. You get in when traffic is clear and get off at the exit you want. No worries about the vehicle next to you wondering if they are getting off or continuing on around. Just my two cents.
