British Highway Code for Roundabouts
The official instructions taken from the British Highway Code on Roundabouts (reformatted for the web):
123:
On approaching a roundabout, decide as early as possible which exit you
need to take and get into the correct lane. Reduce your speed. On reaching
the roundabout, give way to traffic on the right unless road markings
indicate otherwise. Watch out for traffic already on the roundabout, especially
cyclists and motor-cyclists. At some junctions there may be more than
one roundabout. At each one, use the normal rules for roundabouts.
124:
Unless signs or road markings indicate otherwise: When turning left: signal
left and approach in the left hand lane. keep to the left on the roundabout
and continue signalling left When going straight ahead: do not signal
on approach; approach in the centre or left hand lane on a three-lane
road (on a two-lane road you may approach in the right-hand lane if the
left hand lane is blocked); take the same course on the roundabout; signal
left after you have passed the exit before the one you want. When turning
right or going full circle: signal right and approach in the right hand
lane; keep to the right on the roundabout; continue to signal right until
you have passed the exit before the one you want, then signal left. When
there are more than three lanes at the entrance to a roundabout, use the
most appropriate lane on approach and through the roundabout.
125:
Watch out for traffic crossing in front of you on the roundabout, especially
vehicles intending to leave at the next exit. Show them consideration.
128:
The same rules apply to mini roundabouts. If possible, pass around the
centre marking.
Watch out for vehicles making a U-turn and for long vehicles which may
have to cross the centre of the roundabout.
