Zorluk: KolayRoundabouts

You are approaching a standard roundabout and intend to take the third exit to turn right. What is the correct sequence of actions you should take from your approach to exiting the roundabout?

  1. 1Check your interior mirror and right door mirror as you approach the roundabout.
  2. 2Signal right and position your vehicle in the right-hand lane.
  3. 3Adjust your speed and give way to traffic approaching from your right.
  4. 4Signal left after passing the exit immediately before the one you want to take.

Cevap

The correct sequence begins with checking interior and right-side mirrors on approach, followed by signalling right and positioning in the right-hand lane, then adjusting speed and yielding to traffic approaching from the right at the give way line, and finally indicating left after passing the exit immediately prior to your intended exit to leave the roundabout.
The sequence follows the standard UK Highway Code routine for taking a right exit at a roundabout: first check the interior and right door mirrors, apply a right signal and position into the right-hand lane, decelerate and give way to traffic approaching from the right, and finally apply a left signal after passing the exit before your intended exit.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Check your interior mirror and right door mirror on approach.
Full situational awareness of trailing and adjacent vehicles is established.
Under the standard Mirrors-Signal-Manoeuvre (MSM) routine, observation must always precede signalling and lateral vehicle movement.
2
Indicate right and adopt the right-hand lane on approach.
Your turning intention is clearly communicated and your vehicle is in the correct lane for a right turn.
Highway Code Rule 186 states that drivers turning right should signal right and approach in the right-hand lane unless signs or lane markings direct otherwise.
3
Adjust your speed and give way to vehicles approaching from your right.
You safely enter the roundabout without causing circulating traffic to brake or swerve.
Highway Code Rule 185 requires drivers joining a roundabout to give priority to traffic approaching from the right.
4
Signal left after passing the exit prior to the third exit.
Drivers waiting at subsequent entrances and vehicles following behind know exactly where you are exiting.
Signalling left too early misleads drivers waiting at intermediate junctions, whereas signalling after passing the preceding exit ensures clear communication.
