My state is installing them everywhere despite people not knowing how to drive (only state in the union without compulsory driver's ed). So it's very common to enter a roundabout and have another car go the wrong way, because they wanted to go left.

I just sit with my horn depressed until they back up. Sometimes it takes a while.

Do the road designers cheap out?

  • 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.
