On the roundabout

I agree. It should be a zipper lane. It is a zipper lane. People are learning to navigate this bottleneck on their own. All that's missing is the correct wording on the sign.

What's amazing is that in spite of there being two essentially equal volumes of cars obviously merging in an alternating fashion, there's still the occasional driver determined to block out the right lane.

I agree!

The zipper merge seems to work a lot better than the signs instruction at the merge by KHS. In larger cities there is actually a green light/red light for the same effect (with big tix for jumping the light). Here in Puna, we have some intelligent drivers who on their own figured out what works best despite the best intentions of the engineers to interfere.
