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?

Outside lane: 90 degrees or straight
Inside lane: straight or 270 degrees.

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 believe that it has to do with a one lane exit. Posting #2 has two pictures.
The left picture has the yellow markings at 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock. The exits right after that (at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock) have a one lane exit. The picture on the right (without the yellow markings) has two lane exits at all four exit posts.

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

There are a few roundabouts that have the inner lane marked with yellow lines in some areas seemingly to guide traffic out of the inner lane. Something like the attached picture. This doesn't make any sense to me. Anyone know the reasoning?

The roundabouts without the hash marks indicate that the exit off the main thoroughfare is a two-lane exit. The ones with hash marks indicate the next exit is a single lane.

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.....

Which immediately forces two lanes into one and seems rather dangerous. My question was what is the reasoning behind this.

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.

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.

No, if you look at the lane markers, the outside lane instructs you to go straight...
