You may change the controlling standard by clicking on the adjacent ... button. Select the required new standard and click OK. None of the geometry changes but the new limits are applied and may cause additional warnings to be displayed.

The roundabout is set out using definition lines. The Curb Offset is the distance from the definition line to the curb.
