Manishh Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 I always go from the roundabout. It does definitely take longer time but I feel its more safer. How do you reach the exit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drеam Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 I would personally just turn left at the lights and wait until it's clear. But if you feel safer going to the roundabout then you do you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuX. Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 The fastest way is to merge to the left lane from the entry side and wait for a green light, then wait until there’s no oncoming traffic and then you can turn left. It’s faster than going to the round about and waiting for another green light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Bear Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 When the traffic volume is high, I choose to go straight around the island and make a U-turn, otherwise it is easy to collide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bеаn Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 You, once you have a green light, pull forward and wait in the center until it's clear to cross the other side of the road. Once clear, you cross. You could also go straight and use the roundabout and then come back on yourself, if you don't trust yourself doing the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just creep forward into the intersection (I usually just creep as forward as I can, so the one behind me can creep forward as well if they want to make the left turn as well), then press 2 to check the light status and the traffic ahead (yea, hate that the light is not on the opposite side of the intersection and idk who designed this which is terrible design). Once there's no one coming from the opposite side or the light turns yellow/red, you can make your turn safely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arf. Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 If the left turn lane is full and you cannot move into it from the right lane, you must continue straight and make a turn at the nearest possible location. From the left lane, you can either turn left or go straight. However, the right lane is strictly for going straight and cannot be used for turning left. In this image, only vehicles numbered 1, 2, and 3 are allowed to turn left, but vehicle number 4 can never make a left turn. (Can you turn left from the right lane? No, turning left from the right lane is prohibited by law. Turning left from the middle lane is only allowed if the left lane vehicles are turning and the middle lane is clear. In roundabouts, if there is no suitable lane to turn left from the middle lane, you must switch to the left lane to make the turn.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmet16 Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 To turn left from the "Entry" section, I follow the left lane, when the green light turns, I move towards the middle of the road and prepare myself for the left turn. When the traffic flow on the opposite road stops, I make the turn and continue. At this point, some users may prefer to make a U-turn from the roundabout, but most of the time the roundabout is busy and it will be quite difficult to enter the right lane in this busy area.

Sunstrider Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Get over in the left lane BEFORE you reach the light. Wait for the green light. Wait for traffic to clear. Make your turn so long as you aren't blocking or obstructing other traffic. If you can't turn, go through the roundabout taking the third right. Do a safe u-turn. Stay in the right lane. Make a right turn when the light is green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean just creep forward when it's green, then when it turns yellow/red and/or the opposite traffic is clear, you are good to go Easier than all the hassles after 4 imo As long as you creeped forward and had your left signal on, you shouldn't be kicked or banned for blocking anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do, wait until you see traffic stopping then go. Course, there are those who assume red=green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittyYiouo Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 23 hours ago, Sunstrider said: you shouldn't creep forward IF you have the green light, then just creep forward so at least one of you guys in the left lane can make that left turn (you'll have priority when the light turns yellow/red when you already in the intersection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This way I'm not overwaiting when the light has already turned red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditere Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 In low traffic - left turn during rush hours - I personally prefer to drive around and appear from the right (from this perspective). It can really save a lot of time fr fr. Ofc U-turn is also good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*CNDS*300-yang guang Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 When passing through the roundabout, l will stop and wait for the vehicles inside the roundabout to finish before leaving, When there are traffic lights, l will follow them, lf there are no traffic lights, l will follow the signs next to me.

-TurboStar- Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 from roundabout too, personally i find it better and faster, once passed the traffic lights you enter the highway and you're good to go, so always from roundabout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foobrother Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 https://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/road-junctions.html Check section 174 & 180 (that's UK version, you need to switch sides, but the rules are identical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warxgyen Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 The location of the road is in an area where there are many players, the best choice on such roads would be to turn at the next intersection and continue on my way, all other possibilities are risky.
