Are you a little unclear on how you should enter and exit a roundabout safely? This short video should help straighten things out. Visit the Office of Road Safety website for further road safety information: www.ors.wa.gov.au Please stay safe on our roads.

Ever get a little confused when entering a roundabout? These tips and video below should help you out.

These general rules are for all vehicles using a roundabout:

always keep left of the central island
always travel in a clockwise direction
give way to all vehicles who are already travelling within the roundabout
follow the direction of any painted lines on the road of the lane you are in

When turning left at a roundabout, follow these rules:

approach from the left lane
indicate that you are turning left before you reach the roundabout
stay in the left lane
exit in the left lane

When turning right or making a U-turn at a roundabout follow these rules:

approach from the right lane
indicate that you are turning right before you reach the roundabout
stay in the right lane
when you have past the last exit, before the one you want to get out at, indicate you are going to turn left

When driving straight through a roundabout, follow these rules:

use the left or right lane and stay in that same lane, unless road markings or signs tell you otherwise
indicate left, if you can, after you have passed the last exit before the one you want to get out at
you do not need to indicate when you are coming up to the roundabout if you are going straight ahead
