Nine mile roundabout, Ashbourne

Hi,

This is happening so regularly that it's starting to make me think that it's me that's wrong. When taking the 3rd exit for the M2 slip road when leaving Ashbourne, cars in both right and left lanes indicate right and go the full way around and take the 3rd exit which has two lanes. There are no arrows dictating that the left lane is straight only. My understanding is that you don't take a 3rd exit when in the left lane, if it's past 12 o clock or not otherwise marked? But it's a daily occurrence.

I know this roundabout but taking it very occasionally. I ways take the inner lane (can't remember if there are 2 or 3 before the roundabout) as I follow same past 12 hrs clock rule. Luckily, when I take this roundabout, it's never busy so no troubles to me. There are 2 lanes when you exit the roundabout. Even if another driver takes outter lane, if both keeping their lane whilst exiting, there should be now conflict if none of you are taking too wide turns.

I see this all the time around Kells coming off the N3 for the M3.Two roundabouts poorly designed too close together and vehicles don't have time or don't bother changing lanes so traffic in the left lane drive all the way around to the third exit, mostly without indicating.
