Sounds like a case of piss poor engineering.

Then that’s just a piss poor design. The inside lane should never have a turn option.

Agreed. But I think those designers had different objectives.

Their problem was "traffic flow" and keeping it flowing all the way down to Woods Hole (and, maybe, also to (then) Otis AFB. now "Joint base Cape Cod" I think), which is just North of Falmouth/Woods Hole. Hence, two lanes turning right. I guess they figured that's the way 90+% of the traffic was going to go, anyway. It's weird because just South of Otis, at "Brick Kiln Rd" it drops to one lane each way. And, as you enter the CDP of Woods Hole, it's one lane with maybe a 25mph limit that might go up to 35 in lightly populated areas. Imagine all the 18-wheelers and busses that have to travel that road to get to the ferries.

It really doesn't matter what objective the designer/engineer had.
The design and its execution was still piss poor. And very dangerous.

If an objective appears solid on the outset, but the only way to execute it is flawed, then the objective itself is flawed, and must change along with the design.

More morons / idiots ignore the rules at roundabouts than traffic signals....
