HOW TO DRIVE A ROUNDABOUT
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- A roundabout is a circular intersection where drivers travel counterclockwise around a center island. There are no stop signs in a modern roundabout. Drivers yield at entry to traffic in the roundabout; then enter the circulatory carriageway and exit at their desired street. Roundabouts decrease severe injury and fatality collisions and can enable drivers to get through intersections more quickly.
I have never seen a spiral roundabout. It makes infinitely more sense than the normal one. Multilane roundabouts are very dangerous, most drives encounter them once or twice a year and have no clue what to do.
Where was a spiral roundabout?
In this video. Its a turbo roundabout, the lanes go somewhere unlike a regular one@@freedommatters7677
@@freedommatters7677 You blind?
1:22 Turn Left from the middle lane , in this way there are more chances of accidents. Exit 3 and Exit 4 should be using the left lane.
But wait a second - how come your roundabouts lanes are laid out in a spiral instead of concentric rings? This makes it so much easier to distinguish when and where you're supposed to drive

Innermost and outermost lanes should be preferred because they clearly indicate your intention to other traffic. The middle lane should be used when there is lots of traffic in the other lanes (possibly queuing up before the roundabout) or before exiting the roundabout. The outermost lane should not be preferred when you stay in the roundabout, because entering traffic won't be sure where you're going (indicators are not always trustworthy). Whatever you do, go at your own pace, don't do things you haven't thought about first.
Look at the video again - this is a turbo roundabout with spiraling lane design. You automatically change lanes as you progress down the roundabout, and direction of travel is predetermined on entrance. On this roundabout, going round in the rightmost lane requires lane change to the left after every exit, as the rightmost lane always leads towards the nearest exit.
It seems that road engineers worldwide organize a competition “who will create the most confusing roundabout in the world”.
Spiral lanes are a lot easier to understand than circular. They also look safer. At least from an overhead view.
My county is building these all over the city. I hate them. Mostly because no one knows how to drive them.
Keep practicing you can get it💪💪💪
this was my first roundabout and I almost caused an accident 😫
Wow, I think this is the real way roundabouts should be taken.

A SPIRAL!!! GENIUS! We don't have them like that in South Africa.
Amazing! Dubai roundabouts aren't like these, these seem more complex though. High quality animation too boot!
This is from Quatar not Dubai
drift around it, simple
😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing valuable information ℹ
i rather walking.
I am also think a roundabout with three lanes is rarely seen because the trees need more space.It is a spiral roundabout.
No confusion very nice
one little correction. Left turns can perfectly and more efectibly be done using the left lanes (that is why they are there) including exiting to the external left lane. It makes the roundabout much more efficient, all lanes are used, and due to the correct use of lanes plus the rights of way it is all much safer and fluent. There is a video in UA-cam from Kenia that explain it correctly, and many more from arround the world. just do not see the Spanish ones...please.
From the video I saw, the intention is that you drive in a spiraling motion when on a 2+ lane roundabout. This is a good technique, as well!
(as in, for left turn, enter innermost lane, then change lanes after each exit to indicate proximity to where you will get off)
Spain is building a lot of new roads, so it makes sense that they try to futureproof their driver education. I just drove there a week ago, was awesome.
@ spain is caos if we talk about roubdabouts and nowadays many other things. But no, in Spain you find yourself all the time with driver cutting off your exit driving them on the outer lane, plus if you crash with them is your fault (that is the number one cause of accidentes in roundabouts in spain) and it happens because driving schools teach that it is correct to do so, when acctually it is what causes the crash.
@@afd3206 What do you mean with "driver cutting off your exit driving them on the outer lane"? Because this tells me that you try to exit the roundabout from the inside lane, which is wrong.
@ are you totally sure that it is wrong? Would you bet anything on it?
@@afd3206 There's no betting in safety matters. When preparing for a turn, driver must assume a position closest to the edge of driveway related to the turn. If you turn right, you must hug the rightmost edge of driveway.
This is one scary roundabout. 😂
It's a turbo roundabout, those are plentiful in Europe now because they work better than standard circles. Instead of you having to cut through lanes to exit, the lanes change themselves.
Where is this round about?
Thinking about a roundabout without signal......bigger in size with more lane interchangeable space & lane with arrows + lane number (1,2...)/direction indicator (N,NE,.....)of exit.
On seeing this roundabout, mi head z upside down
Hello
Awesome video btw, but I did not actually get the idea of doing the U- turn movement on roundabout, could you please explain it in more details. Thanx
Very useful video
Today i watching this vídeo
Because Today my bike acicdent
In Roundbout
1000 Thank God I'm fine

I do not see why this is so confusing. Right lane entering must make an immediate right turn, middle lane can make a right turn or go straight or make a left, and the left lane entering the circle can make a left turn or a full u-turn. If you follow these rules you can't hit anyone because you are never making a lane change after choosing a lane while entering the darn circle. This idea keeps traffic flowing and only in America do we struggle with it.
Right.... Left you
you struggle too, middle lane can not make a right turn!
Good bro S
I don't care for (double-lane) roundabouts (single ones, great )but if you don't know where you going you are in deep shit with double lanes . I have been there, but never again, it is a mess for people that are not from around the area and don't know where you going!
be carefull driving
Nice for educative
I was looking for the song
A man of culture huh
2nd exit from the roundabout means should we go straight?
Not necessarily, but if the roundabout has 4 exits then it's probably a big crossing so you will think of 2nd exit as going straight.
Mistakes: 1.THREE lane approaches. //2.WRONG TURN MOVEMENT at the small FIAT car at RIGHT LANE at 1:26
No, the car does it correctly, it could have exited in the leftmost lane or taken the next exit in the rightmost lane.
This is a turbo roundabout, you always have two choices at any point.
what if u first time using the roundabout?.....how to decide how big is the roundabout?
THIS is NOT a roundabout.
This is a beta version of a turbo roundabout, a lazy turbo roundabout, if you will.
Where the municipality is so stingy and lazy that instead of properly remodeling the basic roundabout, they are just redrawing the lines on the street to mimic the turbo roundabout.
The turbo roundabout is an intersection model introduced in the mid 90s in europe.
They can't build the inter-lane medians because in Quatar you have a lot of rich bois with low riders who can't stay in lane.
Usefull
Thanks
Bruh if I go by the rule Tomorrow I'll be hospital...coz nobody follows em rules
1:22 this car is unnecessary blocking the ones who are about to enter roundabout, he should drive in middle lane and change lane only after driving past last entrance. And no, entering cars won't interfere because either they will accelerate out of the way or will enter too slowly so won't interfere when changing line.
You don't take an exit from inner lanes on turbo roundabout. The whole idea of making the lanes spiral is so that you can carry higher speed while on it, so the cars entering WILL pose a risk, hence why you must close off the lane and they must yield properly (without inching forward).
If you change lane immediately after the last entrance before your own exit you are cutting off anyone who just got unto the roundabout under the premise that you let them in. If the roundabout is large enough you might just have enough space, sure, but this is not a good idea for the reason I mentioned above.
@ As I said you won't cut anyone if he is accelerating fast then brake and go behind, if he is slow to accelerate then cut him as you go faster and no interference.
@@otofoto That's a lot of guesswork for something as simple as a roundabout entry and exit. I suggest you check out defensive driving style and space management. This roundabout is designed with that driving style in mind.
If any driver has to make evasive action (brake, accelerate, steer) to avoid a possible collision, that's hindrance. What you just described is setting yourself and another car for trouble, all with intent to let him in three seconds sooner. If he accelerates hard and you must brake behind him, then he failed to yield. If he enters slowly and you cut him, then you cut him off, which is also hindrance (failure to safely change lanes).
Cars that have to yield will have to yield, that's just that, they must enter when there is enough space for them to build speed. Don't "let people in" when there's no congestion or zipper merge, just go about your way.
@ Relax it is not as complicated as it sounds. But yes roundabouts train spatial awarness so require practice. That is main reason why US are slow adaptors.
@@otofoto It's not about complication, it's about necessity and risk. Turbo roundabouts carry higher speed, so your suggestion of letting people in is simply unnecessarily dangerous, when you can just exit at a steady speed and they will enter without having to think about you.
The difference between standard circular roundabout and turbo is that you don't need to screw around and can simply enter the correct lane for the exit you'll take.
Modern roundabouts in general can get a lot of traffic through a busy intersection, but this one with low-radii entry & exits, wide medians and absolutely no provision for pedestrians needs to be fixed before it's built if Qatar plans to put this in the residential neighborhood suggested in this animation.
A roundabout is all about keeping traffic flowing, and you suggest adding pedestrians?
Also, what made you think this is residential? Do you frequently see a road with more than 2 lanes traveling in the same direction in residential zone?
@ Traffic obviously includes all forms of traffic, be it motorized, on foot or on bike. The animation clearly shows residential buildings and parks across the top and bottom street, which means that the roundabout lacks distinct and necessary features for non-motorized traffic.
Can you left turn from the left lane or only from the middle one ?
You can
Would make it easier if they made the dotted lines carry from the junction onto the roundabout then people should know which lane they need to be in.
Left turn should be done from left line not middle line
Ayub Khan no because the arrows say that you can make a left from the middle lane.
What if i am on the second lane wanting to make an u turn and on the 3rd lane there is a driver who wants to take a left(next to me). If he hits me..is he guilty? Does he have to let me pass?
I'd take the 3rd lane to make a U-turn to prevent exactly that. The 1st and 3rd lanes should be preferred over the middle lane. The middle lane should be used in a high traffic density situation, where your decision to take the center lane would most likely occour before the roundabout where it's about reducing the length of the queues and saving your own time.
Since both of you need to cross your paths (you need to go left, he needs to go right), you have to coordinate a lane switch, just like on highway where there's sometimes a merge and exit lane at the same time. Indicate, equalize speed, give a bit of room, and dance with the other car.
Yes I drive 15 year its good
Nice
Is the explanation wrong ? Or me not fully comprehend the lessons ?! . When u re decided ro thake the lift lane u have to be on ur lift side . This lesson shows u to be n the middle 🥲
today's issue is that most think that roundabouts are squared and completely ignoring the lanes

hmm, this isn't exactly a normal roundabout, the way the lanes start and end is different and that difference is obvious, cant they have made it the regular way it is ?
This is a turbo roundabout, it's a safer and faster design than the standard circle.
The first problem with standard circle rounabout is that you don't know where any car will go, unless it is indicating right in the rightmost lane.
The second problem is the "slingshot maneuver" where people go straight on a rounabout by entering immediately into the inner lane and then exiting from it, this cuts off everyone in the outer lanes.
On a turbo roundabout, both problems are solved - you enter the lane which will carry you to your exit, and you know by looking at the lane any car is in which exit it will take, unless it made a mistake and needs to change, for which it will turn on its left signal!
Nice keep it up godbless #JuvelTvManalili
These things are the most dangerous and ineffective ridiculous things I have ever seen in my life
Rick Errera how?
I'm getting dizzy
This is definitely not applicable in Uae !!
i know two 60 year olds who never learned to drive. are they ever on to something!
Is it just me or does the lanes spiral out?
sort of, you switch lanes if yore making a longer turn, slowly making your way to the outside lane
too confusing!
V big roundabout
Nice
In Qatar
hllo friend muje bi driving karni hai Qatar mai
Why does it has a spiral kind of design? Wtf is that?
It's a turbo roundabout, it's safer and faster.
This is all very well if you happen to drive on the Right side of the road. Totally irrelevant if, like me, you drive on the left.
Watch the video in a mirror.
Why would you drive on the wrong side of the road?
Nc
maybe instead we shouldnt have any roundabout from the first place !!!
Roundabouts are more efficiënt than intersections
Should be a square about
fuck you american fatties
Tsunami! :o stop insulting race you racist. Fuck the IQ shit as well. It's only about respecting the rules which I agree that Arabs don't give a fuck about rules. I'm an Asian born and living in the middle East so yeah. But that doesn't make them *dumb* . They know things better than white people. It's just that they're ignorant in *following* the road rules. Learn the difference between being a *dumb* And being *ignorant* .

Check the video again and look at the lanes.
This is a turbo roundabout. The instruction is correct for it.
