Right hand land on roundabouts

One of these exits is only for seven and a half tonne lorries so you shouldn't use that lane.

250 yards below the lorries is the exit you should take.

It's generally best to be in the middle lane irregardless of where you want to go. Leisure World sounds pretty good.

It means the exit isn't suitable for over 7.5T not it's only for 7.5T. LOL.

Exactly this. It means after 250 yards the route is restricted to vehicles up to 7.5T. It is in fact a bridge with a weight limit.

Looks like another one who needs to read and understand the highway code.

At the middleborough roundabout, if coming from balkerne hill, You would use the right hand lane for the 2nd (outside lane), 3rd and 4th exit. Although you have to be careful if using the 2nd exit, that the person in the nearside lane doesnt decide to move into the outside lane

I suspect (and hope) that the text relating to the diagram was very much tongue in cheek and was meant to be funny/sarcastic

It's not that simple. One roundabout near us has 4 exits. From the direction I travel the first is virtually a hairpin back off immediately. 2nd is about 120 degrees round and the next at 180 (straight across for those no good with degrees). The final exit is about 300 degrees. All exits are single lane. The vast majority of drivers use the left lane for the first 3 exits and the right hand for the 4th exit only.

A friend of ours was T-boned by a driver who thought using the right hand lane when wishing to leave at the 2nd exit was a good idea. Police disagreed |:-)

One very similar to that near me except it has 5 exits and all single lane exits. Most people when exiting past the second exit will use the right lane but not everyone does so it does pay to be carful on this particular roundabout

You cannot be serious

What if a roundabout doesn't have any markings? Is it then assumed the roundabout is one lane or, if you can fit two cars around it, it's two lanes?

I ask because there are a few near me without any markings and it can get quite hairy maneuvering the roundabout with a car a couple of inches from your nearside.

But if I approach in the middle of the road and take the roundabout in the middle, I get a lot of beeps and anger from other drivers.

Why are you approaching in the middle of the road?



If it's wide enough for two lanes, treat it as such. If it isn't, then it's one lane, and you should be on the left, about a metre from the kerb.


If you can't tell, then maybe you shouldn't be driving ...

Is it wide enough for 2 lanes if so move to one side or the other. The beeping suggests you may be wrong
