Roundabouts

• The roundabout island is the round area in the middle — the whole junction, road and island together, is the "cirkulationsplats".
• Vehicles already in the roundabout have priority — you yield when entering.
• Advantages of roundabouts:
  • Safe — low speeds make serious accidents rare.
  • Easy to understand — drivers rarely go the wrong way or fail to yield.
  • Smoother traffic flow — less queuing than at signal-controlled intersections.
• Choose your lane based on where you're going: right lane for an early exit, left lane for going most of the way around.
• Change lanes inside the roundabout with your indicator, but only if it can be done without obstructing or endangering other traffic.
• It's a good idea to be in the right-hand lane before exiting — not a requirement, but it improves safety.
• Signal right when leaving the roundabout; signalling is normally not required when entering it.
