How do you use turn signals in a small roundabout? If I want to make what would be a left turn if it were a normal intersection, do I put my left

turn signal on as I approach?

(Assume a one lane roundabout.)

Responses:

after the last exit you don't want to use and the one you want to use and be in the right most lane closest to the exit -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 13, 15:18 1
- That doesn't appear to be the case in the States, assuming a two-lane roundabout has two-laned exits, if I'm understanding. -- (link) - mara Jul 13, 15:46
only use them when you reach the exit (at least that is how i see it being done) though most people never use them. -- nm - Truman Jul 13, 14:55 4
- Yeah, no left turn signal ever. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 13, 15:03 3
  - you cant turn left in a roundabout except in England :) -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Jul 13, 15:19
  - Yup. The left curve is considered straight. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 15:04 1
    - Yep, continuation of the existing road/lane, just with a yield sign to the cars already in the roundabout. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 17:51
Ah, I guess this is the answer -- left turn signal first, then right turn signal when I leave. It's such a small circle that there hardly seems time - mara Jul 13, 14:55 2
- Maryland wants the left-turn signal used, also. -- (link) - mara Jul 13, 15:07
- My source. (I wonder if it's in my state's statutes.) -- (link) - mara Jul 13, 14:58
you would be making a right turn out of the round about so you would make a right turn signal -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 14:55
