Agree totally. Seeing turns signals is fine, but I never count on that to avoid a conflict. That's the principle of yielding to both lanes in the roundabout anyway...if you go and there would be a conflict if the signaling cart does not turn, then you are not truly yielding to traffic in the roundabout.

The use of turn signals is a common courtesy. It costs nothing to use the turn signals, why do you think they put them on your car in the first place.

When we are in the process of driving thru a roundabout and exiting, our hands and brain are busy steering the car, so we are not able to easily activate our turn signals.

Their blinker fluid is empty. You need to keep the blinker fluid full so your turn signals will work. Ace Hardward has pint bottles of blinker fluid.

Wow! Two roundabout threads going at one time......................

That's true. When picking it up at Ace Hardware, take the elevator to the 17th floor, it's in aisle 7 on the left, 3rd shelf down

You are correct, however, they don't use them to change lanes or turn either. Even prior to electric signals you had to use hand signals to get your license. Apparently too much gray matter has left these individuals and they no longer know how to signal. :rant-rave:

Was in Hilton Head Island and turn signals are required in the roundabouts. Not a bad idea.

Never use your turn signal if you intend to proceed directly through the roundabout ◄Click here

The Villages has published a brouchure that explains how to navigate the round-a-bouts. Just read the brochure to figure out what to do. It's not space science.

exiting the roundabout a signal is required by law. a signal is not required when entering it.

they are required by law before exiting here as well.

I use them, sure wish more people did. Some could also learn to slow down like the sign says when going thru them also

Round abouts are a thing from the northeast part of the US. People from the northeast learned to navigate them when they were learning to drive. Most of the rest of the US doesn't have them. They are not part of learning to drive in the rest of the country. DONT assume just because people have some problems navigating them they are stupid. The first time you encounter them it can be confusing and intimidating. Traffic moves very fast though them. NOT everyone is from New England. You can be dealing with cars, trucks, motorcycles, golf carts, bicycles, people with poor eyesight, slower reflexes. COMMON sense folks, THINK, put your minds in motion before putting your mouths in gear. Chill out you're in Florida now, not up north.
