No hatched areas would appear on a roundabout with a two lane exit off of it.. The photos are correct as each lane is hatched into a single lane as the next exit road is a single lane. Using the correct lane discipline all should flow without any having to change lane. Study the photo and it is very simple. |

At the junction you have shown, you should have stayed in, and exited from that inside lane. The exit was a two lane road. You can change lane to the lane of your choice after exiting roundabout |

Looks like the striped area is called a " "Channelization Island."

But if I’m going north on Morse and want to go left onto Hillsborough then I had better use the left lane. On the other hand, if I want to keep straight on Morse then I can use either lane. The sawing of the wheel to avoid the grassy area doesn’t change the fact that when I’m finally on Hillsborough I am at a compass direction of 270 degrees from my original direction (a left turn). |

Anyone entering a roundabout should watch what the traffic that is already in the roundabout is doing, no matter the markings, before entering! |
I just noticed that the bottom Google Earth photo shows that the inside lane has only left markers. Does this mean that one you enter this lane you can't leave it? You just keep going round and round and round! 🤪
Seriously, you should look at the green signs before entering the roundabout and only changes lanes within the roundabout when there are dotted line. |
To create confusion so that when you get into an accident, you can call Dan Newlin, Morgan and Morgan, name your attorney to represent you if you are injured. Roundabouts are a cluster .... in TV and very confusing. Full disclosure, I would rather have them than traffic lights or stop signs.

Also when working I investigated auto accidents for insurance companies. Bet there is a lot of he said/she said arguments. |

That is why I posted. I reckon something like 80+% haven't a clue as to the correct procedure in a roundabout. It's a just a junction and the same disciplines apply as for any two lane highway. So simple! |

If you are going to take the third exit then enter on the inside lane, stay in that lane until the third exit, then exit into the left lane of the road you are turning onto. If the road at the third exit has only a single lane then there ought to be markings in the roundabout to direct you to the single lane that exits onto that road. In the case where there is a single-lane exit but no markings (Hillsborough across Morse onto Moyer Loop) then you should have seen the correct pattern on the green sign before entering the roundabout. As many have posted before, pay attention to the green signs -- they are there for a reason! |

I think it is a place to pull into when you get real confused going round and round too many times. What we call in the northeast a "breakdown lane".
