What lights should be turned on before exiting a roundabout?
1 Answers
Before exiting a roundabout, the right turn signal should be activated, as traffic follows the right-hand driving rule. Traffic rules for exiting a roundabout: Due to the unique nature of roundabouts, it is necessary to alert nearby vehicles when exiting. When other vehicles see the right turn signal illuminated on the car ahead, they can plan their route in advance, such as yielding or avoiding. If there are vehicles entering the roundabout at this time, they must wait and give priority to vehicles exiting the roundabout to prevent traffic congestion. Traffic rules for entering a roundabout: Entering a roundabout does not require activating the left turn signal, but when changing lanes within the roundabout, turn signals may be used. Typically, a roundabout has three or four exits, sometimes more. While entering does not require turn signals, exiting requires activating the right turn signal first and then slowly exiting the roundabout after confirming safety. It is important to check for vehicles behind and any vehicles entering the roundabout. In principle, vehicles entering the roundabout must yield and wait for exiting vehicles to leave before entering. If an accident occurs between entering and exiting vehicles, the entering vehicle is at fault.
