It's an endless topic I believe. Roundabouts are as safe as the drivers know what to do. DISZIPLIN is the word behind. I was in Australia recently and came through more roundabout I could imagine. No problem at all even they driving opposite to us (which was a little problem for me at the beginning). Amazing was and is their driver's discipline. Honking? For what? Never I heard one, even when the traffic was slowing down because of very slow reacting drivers.
Their motto is just simple: I am using the same street, so everybody have the same right. I can't add anything to that. |

A change of pace. Zoom into this cars and people roundabout in China. Look at the one bus. You can zoom and then zoom some more into this 195 gigapixel picture Last edited by twoplanekid; 12-21-2018 at 10:26 AM. |

Maybe I just don't understand the "jargon". Travel in a roundabout is always in a counter-clockwise direction. Enter into the right lane, exit from the right lane. How can you make a left turn in a roundabout without facing oncoming traffic?. I think the confusing term here is "left turn".

This is also why so many people get tripped up using the inside lane. Because once you get to the lane you want to exit out of, you will want to take a RIGHT. But in the United States, the LEFT lane is for passing, through traffic, or for taking a LEFT. Even if you are going from north to south, you still will be entering and exiting that circle, and entering will be a "right" turn, and exiting will be a "right" turn. That's how circles work. You go counter-clockwise and turn right to stop moving counter-clockwise. If you don't turn right, you will just keep going around the circle, endlessly. You're supposed to pretend it's a 4-way intersection. Except, at actual 4-way intersections, there are either stop signs or traffic lights. |
