What is the correct approach to a multi-lane roundabout?

• A. Stop before entering if unsure
• B. Stay in the leftmost lane and exit when you can
• C. Choose the lane corresponding to your exit, yield to traffic in the roundabout, and signal your exit
• D. Change lanes freely to avoid traffic inside the roundabout

Answer: (C)

In a multi-lane roundabout, lane discipline and signaling are essential. The best approach is to choose the lane that matches the exit you intend to take before you enter, yield to traffic already circulating inside, and signal your exit as you pass your chosen exit. This sequence keeps the flow smooth and helps others anticipate your movements, reducing the chance of last‑minute lane changes or collisions. Look for road signs and lane markings to determine which lane corresponds to your exit, position yourself early, and maintain a steady speed while circulating. If you’re unsure of your exact exit, slow and yield rather than stopping in front of the yield line; don’t block entry by stopping. Avoid staying in the leftmost lane unless your exit is the first on the left, and don’t change lanes inside the roundabout—other drivers won’t expect it. Signaling on exit is also important to inform others of your intention to leave.
