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.

Can i have a definition of intermediate exit ? I was under the impression that it was anything from first up to and including 12oclock and anything past 12 was a right and therefore should be indicated as a right. I have now been told that only the last exit is indicated as a right and everything between first and last is “intermediate”? What is the definition of intermediate exit ?

Hi Jay, What a headache is this eh?! An intermediate exit in my opinion is not first exit left or last exit right so therefore it’s straight ahead. If map board says second exit is to the right then it’s right hand lane and signal left to exit off. It can be confusing but I just look at map board now and if it’s ‘to the right’ I take rh lane as the HC states you should do :-)

I've been driving for years and needed to refreash myself on the speed & gears one should be using when driving on a round-a- bout, it is still the same as when I started driving, 10 to 15 miles an hour (jogging speed)!!!! what a joke.

If you were in the middle lane to go ahead at the rb and the person in the left hand lane wanted to go right (3oclock) then he was in the incorrect lane and should have proceeded left (1st exit), turned around and then gone ahead to exit in the direction he wanted to go.

Does the new H2 rule that drivers should give way to pedestrians apply to all types of junction ( uncontrolled, controlled and roundabouts).
