Giving way

Giving way at roundabouts

At roundabouts, it is important to:

  • give way to all vehicles that will cross your path from your right as you enter the roundabout
  • slow down - even going straight ahead involves changes of direction that could cause you to rollover
  • be aware that you may need to use both lanes to make a turn.

If you are travelling straight, or more than halfway around a roundabout:

  • signal left as you pass the exit before the one you wish to take.

Look out for cyclists who may find it difficult to maintain a turn signal on a roundabout and are exempt from this requirement.
