Approach and entry
Reduce speed, read the lane arrows and signs, scan the crossings and look for every vehicle already in the roundabout. The central rule is to give way to vehicles already circulating—not simply to look right and enter.
Choose a safe gap that lets you enter without making another road user brake or change course. Large vehicles and cyclists may need more lane space than you expect.
Signals for each movement
For a left turn, signal left before entering and keep signalling as you leave. For straight ahead, do not signal on approach, but signal left when exiting if practical. For a right turn or U-turn, signal right on approach, then signal left as you exit when practical.
Cancel the indicator after leaving. A signal shows intention; it does not create priority or make an unsafe lane change acceptable.
Multi-lane roundabouts
Follow the road arrows and signs when choosing a lane. Stay within the lane through the roundabout. If a lane change is permitted and necessary, signal and give way to traffic in the lane you want to enter.
If you miss the correct exit, continue around safely rather than stopping, reversing or cutting across another lane.
Set up in the correct lane before the roundabout. Early lane choice removes the most dangerous last-second decision.
Cyclists, pedestrians and long vehicles
Cyclists may occupy a full lane and can be less visible beside a vehicle. Do not squeeze past within the roundabout. Watch for pedestrians at approaches and exits, even where the roundabout itself does not create an automatic crossing priority.
A long vehicle may use more than one lane while turning. Stay out of its turning path and do not move alongside it on the side toward which it is turning.
