HOW TO DRIVE A ROUNDABOUT

Показать описание

A roundabout is a circular intersection where drivers travel counterclockwise around a center island. There are no stop signs in a modern roundabout. Drivers yield at entry to traffic in the roundabout; then enter the circulatory carriageway and exit at their desired street. Roundabouts decrease severe injury and fatality collisions and can enable drivers to get through intersections more quickly.

But wait a second - how come your roundabouts lanes are laid out in a spiral instead of concentric rings? This makes it so much easier to distinguish when and where you're supposed to drive

Thanks for sharing valuable information ℹ

It seems that road engineers worldwide organize a competition “who will create the most confusing roundabout in the world”.

A SPIRAL!!! GENIUS! We don't have them like that in South Africa.

I have never seen a spiral roundabout. It makes infinitely more sense than the normal one. Multilane roundabouts are very dangerous, most drives encounter them once or twice a year and have no clue what to do.

what if u first time using the to decide how big is the roundabout?

I am also think a roundabout with three lanes is rarely seen because the trees need more space.It is a spiral roundabout.

Hello
Awesome video btw, but I did not actually get the idea of doing the U- turn movement on roundabout, could you please explain it in more details. Thanx

Innermost and outermost lanes should be preferred because they clearly indicate your intention to other traffic. The middle lane should be used when there is lots of traffic in the other lanes (possibly queuing up before the roundabout) or before exiting the roundabout. The outermost lane should not be preferred when you stay in the roundabout, because entering traffic won't be sure where you're going (indicators are not always trustworthy). Whatever you do, go at your own pace, don't do things you haven't thought about first.

Can you left turn from the left lane or only from the middle one ?

Wow, I think this is the real way roundabouts should be taken.

Thinking about a roundabout without in size with more lane interchangeable space & lane with arrows + lane number (1, 2...)/direction indicator exit.

On seeing this roundabout, mi head z upside down

Spiral lanes are a lot easier to understand than circular. They also look safer. At least from an overhead view.

What if i am on the second lane wanting to make an u turn and on the 3rd lane there is a driver who wants to take a left(next to me). If he hits me..is he guilty? Does he have to let me pass?
