What is the correct action to take when exiting a roundabout?

When exiting a roundabout, the correct action is to never exit from the inside lane. This is crucial for ensuring the safety of all road users. The inside lane is generally intended for vehicles that will continue around the roundabout or require additional time to navigate it. Exiting from this lane can create confusion and increase the risk of accidents, as it may not provide ample space or visibility for other drivers who are also in the roundabout or preparing to enter.

Instead, drivers should position themselves in the appropriate lane well ahead of their intended exit. This usually means using the rightmost lane for the exit when approaching the roundabout. By doing so, drivers can safely exits while maintaining clear paths for other vehicles. Proper lane management not only enhances safety but also promotes smooth traffic flow, making the roundabout more efficient for everyone involved.
