When taking the first exit to the left, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise - You should signal left and approach in the left-hand lane - You should keep to the left on the roundabout and continue signalling left to leave. When taking an exit to the right or going full circle, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise - You should signal right and approach in the right-hand lane - You should keep to the right on the roundabout until you need to change lanes to exit the roundabout - You should signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want. When taking any intermediate exit, unless signs or markings indicate otherwise - You should select the appropriate lane on approach to and on the roundabout - You should not normally need to signal on approach - You should stay in this lane until you need to alter course to exit the roundabout - You should signal left after you have passed the exit before the one you want. When there are more than three lanes at the entrance to a roundabout, use the most appropriate lane on approach and through it. https://www.gov.uk/ See how to negotiate roundabout:

I am trying to clarify if there is only one correct lane to take when entering a roundabout and going straight over, as there is a conflict between the words in Highway Code rule 185 and the diagram in Highway Code rule 184. The words say use ‘appropriate’ lane whereas the diagram shows a car using the left lane.

Unless you were actually overtaking on entering the roundabout you should have been in the left hand lane unless otherwise directed by signage or markings.

Hello, couple of months so may have already sorted. There's no conflict between the wording and diagram; it states use "appropriate lane". Diagram shows straight over as using the left lane; so the "appropriate lane" is the left lane. Leave a Reply. |
