Should You Use Turn Signals When Entering a Roundabout?
1 Answers
When entering a roundabout, you should not use turn signals. However, you must use the right turn signal when exiting the roundabout, as entering does not affect other vehicles, but signaling is necessary when exiting. The principle of driving in a roundabout: When two or more intersecting roads converge at a traffic roundabout, all vehicles must drive on the right side of the roundabout. When reaching the exit where the vehicle needs to turn, it should make a right turn into that route. No vehicle is allowed to drive on the left side, thus avoiding traffic conflicts at intersections. Turn signals are important indicators used when a motor vehicle is turning to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. The turn signal bulbs use xenon tubes, controlled by a microcontroller circuit, operating in an alternating left-right flash pattern continuously.
