Roundabout rules in Ireland
Roundabouts confuse many learners and feature heavily in the theory test. The rules on priority, lane discipline and signalling are straightforward once you know them.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ Give way to traffic already on the roundabout, which approaches from your right.
- ◆ To take the first exit (left), signal left on approach and stay in the left lane.
- ◆ To go straight ahead, take the appropriate lane and signal left only after passing the exit before yours.
- ◆ To turn right or go full circle, approach in the right lane and signal right, then signal left to exit.
- ◆ Watch for cyclists and motorcyclists, who may stay in the left lane to exit anywhere.
