Comment on What are some of the things someone permanently relocating away from the US should be aware of?
r0ertel@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoI didn’t describe it correctly. I see people approaching the roundabout with their left signal on, leave it on until they take the 3rd exit. I’ll also see approaching with their eight signal on and take the 1st exit. The intersection used to be a standard perpendicular intersection with traffic lights.
It sounds as if you’re saying to signal left on approach indicating a merge, then signal right to indicate an exit from the circle. I can’t say that I’ve ever seen that in action.

Yep. Left signal when entering then right signal when going to the 3rd exit. The left signal means you’re planning to continue in the roundabout which would be wrong if you’re exiting.
Car position is also a thing. Move to the right side on exit to block traffic behind.
Also on entry: left side of lane turning left, center for straight, right for right.
Idk what the rules are in the US for roundabouts. From what i recall there really aren’t any you’re just expected to use them without training and not crash.
