Roundabouts allow traffic to merge smoothly together and in doing so keep the overall traffic stream flowing smoothly.

Remember - at a roundabout you must give way to traffic approaching from your right, unless told otherwise by road signs, road markings or traffic lights. Vehicles already on the roundabout may fail to signal correctly. If in doubt, hold back! Look out for vehicles:

  • Turning right without indicating
  • Indicating right but going straight on
  • Using the right hand to go straight ahead
  • Making a U-turn.

At all stages use Mirror, Signal, Manoeuvre (MSN).

Mini-Roundabouts: approach these as you would a normal roundabout but remember there is less space and you will have less time to signal. You must pass around the centre markings.

On Your Driving Test When Taking A Roundabout The Examiner Will Expect You To:

  • Use the MSM routine
  • Position your car correctly and use the correct speed
  • Choose the correct lane where there are road markings
  • Watch out for motorcycles, pedestrians and cyclists
  • Take effective observations
  • Assess the speed of the traffic.
