What are the rules for using turn signals when driving in a roundabout?
1 Answers
In a roundabout, the methods for using turn signals are as follows: 1. Changing lanes when entering the roundabout: Generally, vehicles turning left will need to change lanes, and drivers usually choose the inner lane of the roundabout. Since the vehicle needs to move from the outer lane to the inner lane, the left turn signal must be activated to alert vehicles inside the roundabout and those behind, indicating the intention to switch to the inner lane for a left turn and to yield accordingly. 2. Going straight when entering the roundabout: If the vehicle is going straight and does not need to change lanes, there is no need to activate the left turn signal when entering the roundabout. When the vehicle is preparing to exit the roundabout to continue straight, since it needs to cross the right lane inside the roundabout, the right turn signal should be activated to alert other vehicles, and then the vehicle can exit the roundabout. 3. Turning right when entering the roundabout: If the vehicle intends to turn right towards another intersection, it should naturally choose the lane closer to the right side of the roundabout. This situation is similar to the second case, and there is no need to activate the left turn signal. After selecting the corresponding intersection, the driver should activate the right turn signal in advance, confirm it is safe, and then turn right to exit the roundabout.
