Probably because the straight ahead exit is single lane, so the planners are trying to avoid the 2 into 1 scenario which results without such markings.

Or a mistake? Driver on that stretch of road for the first time suddenly thinks "Oh sh!t! I'm in the wrong lane!". Driver to his right doesn't move into an available gap, so the driver in the wrong lane takes advantage. I always give the miscreant the benefit of the doubt in a case like this. Especially as my SatNav gives me such helpful instructions as "Enter the roundabout" without giving me a clue as to which lane to use.

Did they fail because of this use of the RAB or was it for other reasons?
