* Don't indicate if you're going straight ahead. Indicate left or right if you're going either side of this.
* When entering the roundabout, give way to the right. If someone's coming from the right, don't go. The ONLY safe exception to this is if they're on the outermost lane, indicating left, which means that they'll be turning off before they reach you.
* Clockwise. Always clockwise. So you turn left when entering.
* If it's got multiple lanes: outermost lane for first/next exit; innermost for last exit; middle for anything else.
* Once you're on the roundabout, you now have right of way - don't give way to people outside the roundabout.
* Indicate left as soon as you are past the exit before the one you wish to take.
* Never trust other people to follow these rules. ;)
(French roundabouts, apparently, have this backwards - traffic ENTERING the roundabout has right-of-way, so traffic ON the roundabout has to be keeping eyes in all directions! No wonder they're clogged up whenever you see one on the news. ^^ ) |
