Note
early if this is a single-lane or multi-lane roundabout.
Approaching
a multi-lane roundabout:
· if you go to an exit
from a roundabout that is substantially straight ahead – use any lane (unless
arrows indicate otherwise);
· if you go to an exit on
the left – change to the leftmost lane;
· if you go to an exit on
the right – change to the rightmost lane.
Turn
signal:
· if you go to an exit from
a roundabout that is substantially straight ahead – no turn signal;
· if you go to the first
exit on the left – switch on left turn signal 3 seconds or 1 light pole span
before entering the roundabout, and keep it on until just after leaving the
roundabout;
· in all other cases –
switch on right turn signal 3 seconds or 1 light pole span before entering
the roundabout, and in a more than 4-exit roundabout or in a multi-lane
roundabout also change right turn signal to left when passing the last
entrance preceding your exit.
Start
slowing down:
· If there is a
“Roundabout Ahead” sign - at this sign;
· If a solid dividing line
begins near the roundabout - at the beginning of the solid dividing line;
· If there is none of the
above - 2 seconds or about half light pole span before the roundabout.
Approaching
a single-lane roundabout:
Bring the right side of your car
close to the centre of the road.
Slowing further at the entrance
into the roundabout (at the broken hold line), direct the front of your car
about 30 degrees to the left.
At
a 3-exit T-shape roundabout:
Give way to vehicles on your right
that are going straight ahead.
Give
way to vehicles already in the roundabout that are signalling right turn.
At
a 3-exit Y-shape roundabout:
Give way to vehicles on the first
road on your right that are turning right.
Give
way to vehicles already in the roundabout that are signalling right turn.
At
a 4-exit roundabout:
Look ahead for oncoming vehicles
turning right. If there are any: stop completely at the hold line, and give
them way.
Look right – give way to vehicles
on your right going ahead (no turn signal) or turning right.
With oncoming vehicles going
straight ahead proceed through the roundabout simultaneously.
At
a more than 4-exit roundabout:
Look right only – give way to
vehicles on your right going ahead (no turn signal) or turning right.
Stop
only if you have to give way: look ahead, creep to the hold line, and
completely stop as soon as the hold line has disappeared under the hood (i.e.
within 1 meter);
if
you do not have to give way, do not stop.
On
a single-lane roundabout move bearing to the central island.
On
a multi-lane roundabout do not change lanes, and exit it in the same lane as
you enter.
Lightly
press the lower third of the accelerator pedal, and accelerate to the allowed
speed.
