roundabouts

The Road Rules require that when entering a roundabout, a driver must give way to any vehicle in the roundabout and any tram that is entering or approaching the roundabout. Once in the roundabout, a driver must give way to a tram, or a bus travelling along tram tracks that is in, entering or approaching the roundabout.

Using indicators at roundabouts also seems to cause confusion, but it’s not that different to any other type of intersection. As you prepare to enter the roundabout indicate as you normally would: left to turn left, right to turn right and no indicator if you are going straight ahead. Remember to indicate long enough to give sufficient warning to other drivers and pedestrians about where you plan to go.

Before entering a roundabout, a drive must indicate if turning left or right for long enough to give sufficient warning to other drivers and pedestrians.

If you are going to leave the roundabout more than halfway around, then you should indicate right. Halfway around is defined as leaving on a road that is substantially straight ahead from the road you entered on.

The difference to other intersections is in exiting. Where practicable, give a left change of direction signal when leaving the roundabout. Drivers are not required to give way to pedestrians when leaving a roundabout, but commonsense should prevail.

When driving in a roundabout, if you are changing lanes or lines of traffic, again indicate as you would normally do
