I always try to use my blinker in the roundabouts. When approaching the roundabout if I am going to go right, I put my right blinker on. Going straight, no blinker, and if going left, I get in the left lane and put my left blinker on, but after I pass half-way I put my right blinker on. But I don't believe I have ever seen anyone else using their directionals in the roundabouts.

I try to use mine when I am exiting the roundabout - let's someone waiting to enter know I won't be coming around and broadside them as they enter.

I do too probably 75% of the time. It just lets people know what you are doing incase they want to know.

since all turns in a roundabout are right turns why use a signal.

But to change lanes,going to your left are you not suppose to use your blinker. We where taught,changing lanes "always use your blinker".

[red tail]

if youre going left then you should be in the proper lane that goes left which is still a right turn

If I am exiting from the main road, I will put on a blinker to let the people behind that I am not going straight but turning right. If I am on the left lane and exiting the second exit, I don't give blinker signal as I have right of way to turn right if I wanted to. There should be no cars coming from the right lane. I also like golf cart people giving good old hand signs as they are turning left in addition to turn signals. This is an added assurance for me.

i use my blinker in the same way - am scared to death NOT to - still find that some vehicles don't give a dang about the blinker hint - many seem to be of the attitude that if they want the space and get there first, it's theirs!

Firstly, you should be in the proper lane upon entering the circle. You are not supposed to change lanes once in the circle... period. But, it doesn't hurt to use them...

Shoulda Woulda Coulda...
with some of the roundabout buddies I have encountered in the 5 years I have lived here,
I use my blinkers regardless.... when approaching, in, or leaving a roundabout.
Better safe than sorry.

Anyone seen the new 3 lane roundabout south of 466A?

If you enter the circle in the left lane, in order to exit the roundabout from the left lane you must cross over the right lane. Otherwise you would still be on the roundabout as we speak.

WRONG... enter left lane takes you to going straight or going left, both of which is a right turn.

When you have a chance, please look up the "roundabout rules". I was so surprised the first time I realized that if you are exiting on the 3rd right turn, you enter and exit from the left hand lane.
