When exiting a two-lane circle, when should you signal?

When exiting a two-lane circle, when should you signal?

• A. Before entering the circle.
• B. After passing the previous exit.
• C. After entering the circle.
• D. While turning into the exit lane.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is to use your signal to show you’re leaving, and the right moment is after you’ve passed the exit before the one you intend to take. This timing clearly communicates to drivers behind you that you plan to exit at the next opportunity, without signaling too early or while you’re still circulating. So you turn on the right signal after passing the previous exit, keep it on as you approach and exit, and then switch it off once you’re clear of the circle. Signaling before entering the roundabout or while still inside in a confusing way can mislead other drivers.
