You know where you are going, but does the traffic around you?
They should – there is only one way for me to go and the lane is clearly painted.
Does the traffic waiting in other joining road?
I’m coming on from the A69 (to the left of that image) and heading off on the A1(s) out the bottom of the image. The other joining roads are held at lights.
Thing is, if I did actually signal right till my exit then I might confuse cars behind me when the extra lane appears to the inside as we pass the first joining road. (at the end of the hatching about 3o’clock).
Every day I see someone move into that inside lane (which should mean they are going all the way around) then get to the Al(S) exit and sweep across two lanes to get left lane on the exit (!) then usually move back to the right lane once they are on the slip.
Is that roundabout ALWAYS traffic light controlled?
Yep (rather pointlessly – it never used to be).
GrahamS, so on a roundabout with no lights, nobody needs to know you’re turning RIGHT and not coming off the roundabout?
No I usually signal right on roundabouts. Just not this one.
It does strike me as a little redundant to signal right when you’re in the inside lane of a roundabout. I kinda think that should be assumed unless you signal left, but I suppose it shows you’ve actively thought about it.
