Roundabouts

Traffic moves around in a clockwise direction and you give way (yield) to traffic already circulating before you enter.

1. Turning left
Approach in the left-hand lane with a left-turn signal. Maintain your signal and position as you drive to your exit. Cancel your signal after you leave the roundabout.

2. Going ahead
Approach in the left-hand lane without a signal. Keep left as you drive to your exit. Signal left as you pass the exit before the one that you intend to take.

3. Turning right
Signal right, approach in the right-hand lane, maintain your signal and position until you are passing the exit before the one you want, signal left and move to the left-hand lane in order to leave the roundabout.

The 12 o’clock rule
As a general rule, exits beyond ‘12 o’clock’ can be considered as right turns unless local conditions or markings indicate otherwise (this is a general rule - commonsense will guide you!)
