All motorists should know the right of ways with traffic circles, but unfortunately, many of them experience them very little, and do not know they are supposed to yield to vehicles in the circle.  I have noticed that other communities that use traffic circles tend to use very large signs to direct motorists to yield to cars in the traffic circle.  Perhaps overhead signs would work better there.  But, if you want Pittsboro to improve their signage, I can tell you from experience that it takes a lot of preserverence to get it done.
