Default Yet another roundabout thread

For those who have insisted in past threads that the inside lane can never take the 1st exit (take a right), I give you the 2 new roundabouts on Buena Vista South of 44.

The outside lane never becomes part the roundabout. Therefore, only one lane (the left lane) is either turning right or going straight...

What about that dotted line between the two lanes at the point of decision for a right turn?

No, It is within the roundabout.

Not sure what you are looking at but, the outside lane definitely enters the roundabout, it is just forced to exit to the right (1st exit). Also, there is no straight in either of the roundabouts, it is either a right turn from the inside lane or a U turn.

Different design than the 'typical' roundabout where the "can't turn right from the left lane" claims are made. Those claims are correct for the roundabouts they apply to.

Is this really a round a bout?
Where are the other entrances?

So, take that right turn out of the left lane just to see how many vehicles you can hit in the right lane. Do it all you want until you find your insurance company has cancelled you.

When a knowledgeable driver makes the comment that you can never make a right turn from the inside (left) lane at the first exit they are speaking of a "normal" roundabout that has 4 exits.

With this particular roundabout, you are correct. However, the only exits are at 3 (making a right turn) and 6 (making a u-turn). A regular roundabout has exits at 3, 6, 9, and 12.

The IMPORTANT thing is to follow the traffic signs posted at each roundabout.

Your picture don’t show how many exit lanes. Must be two lanes to exit. So yes as long as inside lane stays in left exit lane it can exit. Notice right HAS to exit no options.

Of course they are. But the OP wanted to post a "gotcha" about the unicorn roundabout...
