Roundabouts! Unmarked roundabout, 3 lanes to enter it and 3 exits. Which lane do I use to take the 2nd exit?
Answers:
I'd go for the first lane if I wasn't sure the first time. but I would watch the other road users and do what they did the next time!
i'd use the middle lane but be careful of the cars either side of you
Right hand lane if in doubt. Use the left for left turn.
Just gun it and be faster than everyone else!
Any lane you like if you drive a 4x4
You should use the middle of three lanes. The person in the left lane taking the second exit is wrong but that's small consolation if you have an accident.
I think it's good you are aware this CAN happen as it shows you are paying attention and reduces the risk of an accident.
if in doubt stick to your inside lane then you dont have to change lanes
The law says always give way to the right
i think that you should enter in the middle lane, as you are going straight across (if i understood correctly) the left lane should be for the first exit, the right should be for the third or forth exit (forth if you were going right round back where you came from) if you went in the third exit i think that technically it wouldn't be wrong but looking ahead and anticipating the exit route it would obviously make more sense to remain in the middle, so if you are in the middle lane and a car is beside you in the right lane you are of equal priority , just look to the other driver for signals of who is willing to give way, or ease of gas or ease on to show your intention. hope that has helped if not let me know and i will try again.
if you take the middle lane you can allways correct yourself by going round again. make way for the ignorant driver as he will probably try to cut you up... just take your time .its nerve wracking but the more you do it the better you will get. i think of it as a thrill now. and when i get over a busy roundabout i congratulate myself.ps. i live in london gd luck and safe driving
Left hand lane unless there's an obvious queue as traffic slows down to get off, in which case the middle lane seems the more prudent course. Whatever you opt for, be vigilant, as it sounds a horribly dangerous set up!
valid lanes are either lane 1 or 2, but not 3
by defintion car in lane 1 would have priority as you would notionally be the over taking car. in the 'ideal' world you would have moved over to the outside of the roundabout AFTER the first exit
Pelvic inflammatory disease (or disorder) (PID) is a generic term for infection of the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries as it progresses to scar formation with adhesions to nearby tissues and organs. This may lead to tissue necrosis with/or without abscess formation. Pus can be released into the peritoneum. ⅔ of patients with laparoscopic evidence of previous PID were not aware they had had PID (Cecil's 5th ed). PID is often associated with sexually transmitted diseases, as it is a common result of such infections. PID is a vague term and can refer to viral, fungal, parasitic, though most often bacterial infections. PID should be classified by affected organs, the stage of the infection, and the organism(s) causing it. Although a sexually transmitted infection is often the cause, other routes are possible, including lymphatic, postpartum, postabortal (either miscarriage or abortion) or IUD related, and hematogenous spread.
If there are no road markings then I don't think anyone has right of way.
There may be something in the highway code about roundabouts though. Could be a good idea to look it up.
For your safety I would use the inside lane but do not indicate until you are actually passing the first exit. That way you have right of way. I've been driving for 38 years without an accident and this is the way I would approach it. The secret, if there is one, is in when you indicate. Do it too soon and the other driver may think you're taking the first exit. Ideally you indicate just as you pass the first exit.
use first lane be carefull as other cars around espeically the motor bikes take more care for those speakin from a bike rider
Approach in Right hand lane clip kerb on left on entry aim to clip apex or centre of roundabout and again clip left hand kerb on exit. and flare out to right again. That minimises braking and acceleration needed to get back to speed thus saving fuel.
you should use either the inside (1st) lane or the middle lane. Highway code says the for left or straight on - i.e 1st or 2nd exit - you should use the inside lanes
If it wasn't for the 3 lanes to enter the roundabout and just 2 I would say left lane. But without lane markings - sounds dangerous and I bet a lot of near misses
A lot of it depends on how many lanes the first exit has. If its more than one, definitely use the middle lane for second exit.
If it has only one, it may depend on how many lanes the third exit has. If this is more than one, I would use the left lane, as the traffic in middle and right are more likely taking the third exit.
If they all have one lane exits, definitely use the middle lane.
By following this, you will either be avoiding the majority of traffic, or following an 'even amount of traffic approach.'
I was taught that if you are turning off before 12o'clock then you should be on the inside lane and if you are turning off after then it it should be the outside lane. My own views on your problem would be to use the middle lane. Watch other users. We have a three lane roundabout down here with markings and people still don't understand it. Just don't close your eyes and hope for the best.
