Roundabout going from north to south of the roundabout

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 420100.
There are two lanes going from the north side of the roundabout south on Bedford Road, towards Ampthill. However, there are no markings on the lanes. Logically you would expect that left lane = left and right lane = right considering the highway code says to consider entering the roundabout as your starting 6 oclock position. In reality, people use both lanes to go right from Bedford Road onto the southern part of Bedford Road. I live locally and use this road very often and I have seen so many near misses of people going in both lanes but then both trying to exit the same part with no merge shown, so no obvious hierarchy. It really needs arrows on the two lanes or a sign before it causes a serious accident.
