Cevap

Approach in the left-hand lane and stay in this lane until you need to alter course to leave the roundabout
Under Highway Code Rule 186, when taking an intermediate exit (such as going straight ahead) where signs or road markings do not indicate otherwise, drivers should normally approach in the left-hand lane and remain in that lane until they need to alter course to exit.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the approach lanes and road markings ahead
Identify that there are two lanes on approach without specific directional arrows or signs dictating otherwise.
Highway Code rules govern default positioning when specific signage or markings are absent.
2
Apply the standard rule for intermediate exits (straight ahead) at roundabouts
Select and position the vehicle in the left-hand lane on approach.
Rule 186 specifies that drivers should normally approach in the left-hand lane when taking an intermediate exit straight ahead.
3
Maintain lane discipline while navigating the roundabout
Remain in the left-hand lane until adjusting course after passing the exit prior to the intended exit, signalling left to leave.
Maintaining consistent lane positioning prevents cutting across circulating traffic and ensures predictable vehicle movement.
