It would help so much if you discussed and illustrated how to safely cut across a lane in a roundabout when needed. What if all lanes are and you are in the left lane? How do you cross an occupied lane to your right in order to exit to the right? Plus, you say you need to know what to do before you enter a roundabout. What's the best way to approach a roundabout you're unfamiliar with?
A modern roundabout is single lane with operating speed between 10 mph - 15 mph with yield merge traffic metering. Multi-lane traffic circles have been historically dangerous and modern multi-lane traffic circles are as well.
And the number one rule: if it's not safe to exit from the left lane, go around again! Too many people will just come to a sudden stop if they can't get over, and that's far more dangerous. Just put your left signal back on and keep going around. You'll be able to get out the next time around, and it doesn't take that long.
@@AniezkaJi Because you're going all the way back around the roundabout and will be turning left the whole time until you get back to the exit you missed. You switch over to your right signal once you get back to your exit. The left signal is to tell all of the cars waiting to enter the roundabout that you will be crossing in front of them and that they need to give way. It's especially helpful at roundabouts that have lane shifts. People are accustomed to thinking that "steering away from the island" = "exiting" and may pull right out in front of you when you're simply following your lane around the roundabout. The left signal makes it clear that you're not exiting yet.
@@melinuxf00lYou have no other choice, why signal left, it is like signaling left while going straight on a straight road 😂. And not changing lanes in a roundabout is stupid.
That's because you are supposed to be yielding to them, they were in first and are supposed to be exiting from the inner circle if they are making a left turn. The video by the U.S. Dept of Transportation explains it better. It's not a race to get through these. People need to slow down to the posted speed limit and yield (not merge) to those already in the roundabout.
If you’re driving in a new city, sometimes you’re hesitant and approaching roundabouts in traffic at night can be jarring. I’m going to miss the traffic light for numerous reasons.
So to turn left you have to stay in the inside lane and cross over the outside lane with traffic on your passenger side. You will never convince me these are superior in any way to a standard intersection design. I’m a trained engineer with a class A commercial drivers license.
This is very misleading and wrong. Exiting the roundabout from the left lane is very dangerous, and yes, you can change lanes in the roundabout for left turn or U- turn (in a safe manner) just after you passed the preceeding exit.
I didn’t realize the traffic light was a problem. People’s driving habits have become worse, especially with texting and driving. I’m gonna miss the simple stoplight.

these roundabouts always cause me so much panic, now it's easier!
Possibly the best video out there explaining roundabouts. Congrats!!!!
I liked this video. Concise and informative. Thanks, Zutobi!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Appreciated.
Great video, very well explained
Not Changing lane and signaling while exiting in the roundabout are some of the rules expressed with an illustration. Thank you very much.
Excellent! Thanks!

Now I feel more confident about roundabouts

Why the signal is left if the exit from the roundabout is always located on the right side from the driver?

Great video
Made me so less nervous
Very good
Thank you!
I have so many in the 2 lane roundabout cut in front of me from the innercircle crossing over when I am on the outer circle

But what if ur in the close lane by the island but there’s a car in ur way in the lane by you n you need to turn n can’t? You would have to stop
go around again
Can I make U turn at roundabout if I'm on right lane?
You would be surprised how many Americans do not signal. Stop in the round about, and completely stop when approaching the round about with no traffic
So to turn left you have to stay in the inside lane and cross over the outside lane with traffic on your passenger side. You will never convince me these are superior in any way to a standard intersection design. I’m a trained engineer with a class A commercial drivers license.
Americans make sure to not hang around about and to listen to the rules in the video

Stop telling people not to change lanes in a roundabout!!!! You literally have to.
