Lane choice is critical
Example: Two-lane roundabout
Driving a roundabout with two or more lanes
Observe and obey the signs and arrows to determine which lane to use before entering a roundabout.
- Black and white signs on the side of the road and white arrows on the road will show the correct lane to use.
- To make a left turn, be in the left lane or other lanes that are signed and marked as left turn lanes.
- To make a right right lane or other lanes that are signed and marked as right turn lanes.
- To go straight, observe the signs and arrows to see what lane is correct.
Steps for driving a roundabout:
- Slow down. Obey traffic signs.
- Yield to pedestrians and bicyclists.
- Yield to traffic on your left already in the roundabout.
- Enter the roundabout when there is a safe gap in traffic.
- Keep your speed low within the roundabout and stay in your lane.
- As you approach your exit, turn on your right turn signal.
- Yield to pedestrians and bicycles as you exit.
