The few roundabouts a couple decades ago may have been ambiguous but every roundabout I’ve seen for many years is clearly marked on the approach so you can’t screw up the direction.
I understand someone unfamiliar may stop unexpectedly or not understand how to exit, but how do they screw up the direction?
Even changing lanes which used to be where people screwed up a lot, recent roundabouts are clearly marked what lane you should be in and the lane markers lead to the exit: how can people not understand signs saying this lane for this road?
If your road designers aren’t following these conventions, that may be a contributing factor
I regularly take a busy road with a two-lane roundabout marked this way and you can be sure that people will ignore these lane markers. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t seen a fender bender there before.
Do the road designers cheap out?
