.
There are no other exits other than to come all the way around

Solution: 1) use your right or left signal before entering and exiting the roundabouts. Not 100% effective but it helps tremendously and; 2) slow down and be aware of drivers on both sides. You are driving in the Villages, many elder people.

This is the Buena Vista roundabout S of 44 leading to Meggison where there is nothing on the left or straight-away to go to as of yet or possibly ever. One can go straight-ish to the left and play ring around the rosey forever... "weee wee wee".

This is a rare roundabout anomaly. One should not let this roundabout confuse the norm in T V and cause fun accidents.

I have no doubt a right can be made from the inside lane , whether a round about or highway only those that are are not aware of surrounding traffic or on coming traffic would be foolish enough to do it without looking.

I remember back in Chicago where they had intersections and 4 way stops.
Then the only problem you incurred was people didn’t like to stop, but it was much clearer who was at fault if you encountered a fender bender. I believe traffic circles are there just to test seniors cognitive decline. 😜

That’s an accident waiting to happen . Traffic design should be addressed real soon. Perhaps it was an over site?

This only proves: read the signs. Not only do a lot of people navigate the roundabouts wrong, a lot of people stop at each roundabout when nobody is coming. This is going to cause an accident. At most roundabouts, you can glance at the left and see no cars in sight, so you should be able to flow without much braking

Good points. I live near Sea Breeze, and heading east on Bailey Trail, approaching the BV roundabout, there is a decorative brick wall with some plantings around it that completely obscures one's view of the oncoming traffic, as one approaches the Yield sign. You really have to STOP, because in that split second that you can't see what's coming, well, someone could be rounding the curve.
Fortunately, there is seldom a lot of traffic coming in that direction, off of Bailey onto the roundabout, compared to one roundabout south at St. Charles (what a mess that one is!), but it's a bad design.

I disagree. It's really an efficient and easy way to negotiate the intersection. In fact, you'd have to work pretty hard to screw it up.

NEVER DRIVE NEXT TO ANYONE, IN ONE. problem solved

[LoisR]

All drivers need to signal their intent regardless of what lane they are in.
I even asked TV to post "Signal Your Intent" signs upon entering all round abouts. Nothing came of that. Geeeez. Who would have thunk.

When traffic is busy that is an unworkable solution.

These roundabouts are in the area where the new section of Richmond and the commercial area that is planned. There will be more exits off of these roundabouts once the build out happens and I'm sure they will change the signs when that happens.

There are no continuation of the lanes entering the roundabouts going straight, only turning right, therefore, both can safely exit right.

[Dlbonivich]

That is a bypass of the roundabout
