When exiting a roundabout, which signaling practice is correct?

When exiting a roundabout, which signaling practice is correct?

• A. Signal right after passing the exit before your intended one.
• B. Signal left after entering the circle.
• C. Do not signal when exiting.
• D. Signal right only if there are pedestrians present.

Answer: (B)

When you're in a roundabout, your signal communicates which exit you’re taking, so other drivers know what you plan to do. The correct practice is to signal left once you have entered the circle and passed the exit before the one you intend to take. That left signal shows you’re leaving the roundabout at the next exit, which helps drivers inside and approaching anticipate your move. A right signal would imply a different maneuver and can mislead others, so it’s not appropriate when you’re exiting. You should always signal when exiting, regardless of pedestrian presence, and switch off the signal after you’ve cleared the roundabout.
