Question

Difficulty: MediumRoundabouts

When negotiating a multi-lane roundabout, cyclists and horse riders are permitted to stay in the left-hand lane even if they intend to continue around the roundabout to the right.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True
Highway Code Rule 187 specifically instructs motorists to watch out for and allow extra room to cyclists and horse riders who stay in the left-hand lane while signalling right to travel around a roundabout.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the category of road user and the specific junction scenario
Vulnerable road users (cyclists and horse riders) navigating a multi-lane roundabout intending to take an exit to the right.
The Highway Code provides specific exceptions to general lane discipline rules to protect vulnerable road users at complex junctions.
2
Apply Highway Code Rule 187 regarding vulnerable road users at roundabouts
Rule 187 explicitly states that drivers must watch out for cyclists and horse riders who may stay in the left-hand lane and signal right to continue around the roundabout.
Changing lanes across fast-moving traffic on the circulatory carriageway is hazardous for slower-moving road users.
3
Evaluate the truth value of the statement
The statement is True.
The rule explicitly permits this behaviour rather than penalising or prohibiting it.
