If they're following the markings, yes. We have a 1.5-lane roundabout in my area[1] (two lanes on the north side of the circle, one lane on the south side) fed on the southwest by a two-lane road; the right lane is supposed to be a bypass for vehicles turning right, and does not actually enter the roundabout. Some vehicles still make the attempt, ignoring road markings, adjacent vehicles legally entering the roundabout from the left lane, and even the impending concrete barrier.

- bobthepanda 7y agoIn turbo roundabouts, the markings are usually delineated by raised curbs. The one you linked should've physically separated the right turn lane from the rest of the roundabout if that was the intention. You don't need all that much curb to do it.
